Just a carpenter - who saw the menial day to day life of work and surviving from the common and the meek.
Just a carpenter - who learned how to take a raw, rough timber and create a strong and magnificent instrument.
Just a carpenter - who sat in the crowd and heard the week to week musings of the priesthood he would eventually school.
Just a carpenter - who could with tender precision smooth out even the knots of any board and make them fit for great use.
Just a carpenter - who with words could paint a story like the enriching color of stain on a masterful creation.
Just a carpenter - who was King.
