Why was Jesus a carpenter?

I was thinking about God as a worker. He created universe. He created because creating brought Him glory and it was His good pleasure. God enjoyed creating. God enjoys His works of creation. God enjoys work.

God chose to become incarnate in the family of a poor carpenter. Jesus was most likely trained to be a carpenter. God is omnipotent; He could have chose any profession and He chose carpentry. Why? Why did the profession of carpentry bring Him the most pleasure as a young man? Things to ponder.

Piper on Faith and Reason

John Piper spoke on the relationship of faith and reason at the Ligioner National Conference 2007. He spoke on 2 Corinthians 4:4-6.

In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Our job is to present the gospel and the hope that is within us. To communicate the beauty of Christ to the unbeliever. It is God's responsibility to rip the veil over the unbelievers' hearts, to shine the light of the glory of God in the face of Christ in their hearts so that they may believe.

Conversion has its result the love of Christ emanating from the believer.
