The Carpenter

THE CARPENTER

(“IS THIS THE CARPENTER?”) JESUS
MARK 6:3


I WONDER IF THE CARPENTER WAS BROUGHT SOME WORK TO DO…
THE KIND YOU KNOW – THAT NO ONES ELSE
WOULD EVER WANT TO DO.

I MEAN THE BROKEN AND OUT CAST PIECE
TO FAR GONE, NO WAY TO RENEW!

BUT BROUGHT TO THE CARPENTER….
WHO WITH A GENTLE SMILE
WITH OUT STRETCHED HAND WOULD SAY
HERE SET IT NOW AT MY FEET,
OF COURSE MY FRIEND I’LL TRY!

SO THE CARPENTER- HEAD BOWED AND HEART SET TO RESTORE…
A PIECE OF WOOD – SOME NAILS, SWEAT, BLOOD AND TEARS.

SET TO REDEEM –THE CAST OFF
AND THE BROKEN TO MAKE NEW AGAIN!

I ASKED HIS PRICE WHAT DO I OWE? (IT COST HIM MUCH!)
HIS KIND RELY “IT’S FREE”

NOW I ACCEPT…I AM RESTORED, SET FREE…

JESUS HELP ME NOW “TO LIVE
RESTORED- NO OUTCAST BE.
NOW A NEW CREATION
WHOLE! HAPPY! FREE!
