Inside Story: The carpenter’s Tools: An Allegory — 11 Comments

  1. Amen. My only wish is if only we could work together without self. Only thinking about what Jesus gave up to bring us heaven on earth.

  2. The allegory reminds me of 2 Corinthians chapter 12.
    How privilleged Iam to be part of that body that was crucified to deliver mankind.

  3. Powerful.When they were with one accord they shared what they've cs they were all moved by one spirit.

  4. Simple and so easy, we need each other. None of us can make it all alone. We are each good at different things, when we pool our resources we are able to shine. When we don't we become miserable.

  5. I truly enjoyed this story;we have to look at this through Christ-like eyes.God has given us all special gifts and hidden talents we must use for His glory and soul winning.If we put all of our gifts God has given us together and stop the bickering we could build up God's kingdom just as the carpenter did with the door.So let us unite together for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.United we stand divided we fall.

  6. This shows me how human kind are really defensive. Imagine none of these accepted his weakness rather they all become angry and find the defense point attributing another bad effect (selfishness always ). I wish that the lesson Jesus taught his disciples before the Easter may be caught in our day to day lifestyle

  7. Despite more than one tool might look alike, they all function differently. It is like spiritual gift and talent. They might look alike but function differently. Let us work together to finish the work

  8. We spend so much time complaining and finding faults with each other that we fail to see the roles which we should be playing as well as our purpose as a Christian. God designed the universe to work in harmony, can you imagine if the sun decided that it wasn't going to shine during the day? If we work in harmony and see our roles as complementing each other then we would be more effective as disciples and the gospel would reach all the world.

  9. What an illustration? If the church could chose people according to their abilities! It seems that sometimes a pencil is chosen to work on the side of the screw driver, a plain on the place of a hammer. We need reformation on this!

  10. May Gods Name be praised. What a blessing it is to realize that with our Father we all equally special. In-fact apostle Paul says in the Book of Romans chapter 2 verse 11,"For there is no respect of persons with God." The reality is with our Father we all, collectively serve a profound purpose. One article I once read said that the old Testament prophets all understood that their purpose did not mean them special because after them God would appoint another prophet to perform the very duty they performed.

  11. This is the life's lesson I wanted for my children to learn as well as myself. A very important lesson for our little ones so as they mature, the will not become envious of others gifts,realizing thier own God given gifts and beginning to build on these gifts to strengthen thier future ability to work and survive. This goes for not only for my own children, but for all the children in my life, in and out of the classroom! Thank you God for each member of the body. May we all come together and work together as a family! AMEN
