MASTER BUILDER

Exact fit.

Precision.

These were the marks of a good carpenter. Jesus learned well in Joseph's shop.

He bacame what is called in the original writings, "naggara--builder with wood and stone."

There's an intreguing significance in His earthly profession, yet it can easily be missed.

Remember what He said to Peter?

"I will build my church."

The "fit" is good, isn't it?

But examine deeper the precision of this exciting fulfillment.

Jesus, who learned to be a builder with wood and stone in Joseph's house told us, "In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so I would have told you. I GO TO PREPARE (BUILD) A PLACE FOR YOU...!

The Carpenter, the Master Builder has gone to prepare our Heavenly home!
