The argument about Jesus' occupation has kept many people from the salvation he came to offer. Many the Jews then didn't take Him seriously because He was to them an ordinary carpenter. They deprived themselves of His mission just because they were aware of His background.
In today's world, a lot of people (especially religious people) use their unguided beliefs about Jesus' genealogy and occupation to deprive themselves from His salvation offer.
How Do You Know Jesus
Matthew 16:13 (KJV) When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
To me, I know my Jesus as my redeemer. He is my Savior. He is my Deliverer. He is my Lord and King. He is my Healer. He is my Provider. I do not know Him as a carpenter who lived in Galilee. He is all of eternity to me.
The way you understand who Jesus Christ was and who he is will affect your life drastically. Your life both here on earth and in eternity depends on that. If you have not seen anything more than a mere man from the personality of Jesus, you won't be able to benefit from His saving grace.
May I make it clear to us that Jesus Christ was more than just another man on the surface of the earth. He came to save His people from their sins, Matthew 1:21 (KJV) And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.. He came to seek and find those who were lost, Luke 19:10 (KJV) For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.. He came to destroy the works of darkness and set us free, 1 John 3:8 (KJV) He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Come to the Savior today. Forget about His earthly family occupation, it's meaningless. Receive His doctrines and believe in Him for the saving of your soul.
Matthew 11:28-30 (KJV) Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
