The Young Messiah Quote
Old Rabbi (Nazareth): [probing with trick questions]Why did the Lord break his covenant with King David?
Jesus: The Lord does not break his covenants. The throne is there.
Old Rabbi (Nazareth): Where is the King?
Jesus: He will come. And his house will last forever. [soft chuckling among on-lookers]
Old Rabbi (Nazareth): Will a carpenter build it?
Jesus: Yes. There's always a carpenter. Even the Lord himself is a carpenter sometimes. How is the Lord a carpenter?
Old Rabbi (Nazareth): Tell me.
Jesus: Didn't the Lord himself tell Noah how to build the ark? What kind of wood to use, and how it should be pitched? And wasn't it the Lord who granted the vision of the new Temple to Prophet Ezekiel with the dimensions of the galleries, the gates, the altar?
Old Rabbi (Nazareth): Yes, it was.
Jesus: And when the Lord made the world, wasn't wisdom there like a master craftsman? If wisdom is not the Lord, what is wisdom? And when Cyrus the Persian decreed that we could return to our Holy Land, the carpenters came home to build the Temple as the Lord said it should be built.
