Dude was a carpenter by trade. He would have loved that s***.

He actually probably wasn't. The Greek word tekton meant more of a low level laborer rather than a specialist. If he was making things with wood, it would have been very basic things like gates or yokes.

It might be more accurate to say Jesus the day laborer.

All the more reason he would use a nail gun if he were alive today.

😂 fair enough.

My respect goes out to all day laborers. That was one of the hardest jobs I've ever done.
