v1-11 summary
After the Passover feast in Jerusalem, the 12-year-old Jesus goes missing as his family travels home to Nazareth through Samaria. Mary and Joseph search frantically among relatives and throughout the city for two days, eventually learning from temple guards that he is inside debating with the doctors of the law. They find him there, and a distressed Mary asks why he caused them such worry. Jesus replies, "Do you not know that I must be about my Father's work?" He bids farewell to the scholars, then returns home with his parents, where he works as a carpenter alongside Joseph.

One day as He (Jesus) was bringing forth for work he said:
“These tools remind me of the ones we handle in the workshop of the mind where things were made of thought and where we build up character.”
We use the square ⬜ to measure all our lines, to straighten out the crooked places of the way, and make the corners of our conduct square ☑️.
We use the compass to draw circles around our passion and desires 🔥❤️ to keep them in bounds of righteousness ☑️.
Bounds of righteousness for our passions
Bounds of righteousness for our passions
We use the axe 🪓 to cut away the knotty, useless, ungainly parts and make the character symmetrical ☯️.
Remove useless, gainly to make our character symmetrical.
Remove useless, gainly to make our character symmetrical.
We use the hammer 🔨 to drive home the truth 📖, and pound it until it is a part of every part.
We use the plane 📐 to smooth the rough, uneven surfaces of joint, and block 🪵, and board that go to build the temple for the truth 📖.
The chisel, line, the plummet and the saw all have their uses in the workshop of the mind.
And then this ladder 🪜 with its trinity of steps: faith 🕊️, hope 🗯️, and love 💕; on it we climb up to the dome of purity in life 🤍.
And the twelve 1️⃣2️⃣ step ladder, we ascend until we reach the pinnacle of that which life is spent to build the “Temple of Perfected Man.” [jk: God’s image?]
