When on earth, Jesus continued to be a hard worker. Early in life, he learned the building trade, becoming known as “the carpenter.”a (Mark 6:3) This trade involves strenuous work and a variety of skills​—especially so in the era before sawmills, supply stores, and power tools. Can you imagine Jesus going out to get his own lumber​—perhaps even felling trees and hauling the wood to wherever he was working? Can you picture him constructing houses​—preparing and installing the roof beams, making the doors, and even building some of the furniture? Jesus undoubtedly knew firsthand the satisfaction that comes from hard work skillfully done.
