Finish Carpenter!

Listen to this blog.


Christ is exactly like God, who cannot be seen.
He is the first-born Son,
superior to all creation.

Everything was created by him, everything in heaven
and on earth,
everything seen and unseen,
including all forces
and powers,
and all rulers
and authorities.
All things were created
by God’s Son,
and everything was made
for him.

God’s Son was before all else, and by him everything
is held together.

He is the head of his body, which is the church.
He is the very beginning,
the first to be raised
from death,
so that he would be
above all others.

God himself was pleased to live fully in his Son.

And God was pleased for him to make peace
by sacrificing his blood
on the cross,
so that all beings in heaven
and on earth
would be brought back to God.

Colossians 1:15-20

The value of anything increases when it is hand made and custom made. That means, whatever it is, it is a "one of a kind" creation. When a bride to be goes to a seamstress instead of a bridal shop for her wedding dress, she can be certain that it will be like no other dress.

Whether it is a seamstress, a wood carver, an artist, or a builder of fine homes, you can see the nature and character of the craftsman by looking at the creation.

When you think about Jesus Christ there are many images that come to mind, baby in a manger, miracle worker, dying on a Cross, returning King, but we often ignore the fact that Jesus is the Creator Himself! Everything was created by Jesus and for Jesus. The Master Craftsman put His hand to creating the cosmos and everything in it. Each galaxy, star and planet was personally designed and build by Jesus Christ. But when it came to the Earth Jesus did not leave it empty. Just look around you and see what Jesus did as a "Finish Carpenter."

Even snowflakes declare the Glory of Jesus because He makes each one different from the others. Snowflakes that look alike are not the same just as identical twins are unique at the most basic level.

Like everything else in the universe you were handcrafted by Jesus Christ. He created you for His own purposes and when you were lost because of sin, Jesus came and redeemed His own creation.

Human beings were created with a most amazing characteristic. Free will means that you can choose to let Jesus put the finishing touches on your life and make you into the most valuable in all creation. He will not force you, and He will not finish your life unless you allow Him to do so. Don't wait. It is time to let Jesus complete your life and make you ready for Eternity!
