The carpentry skills of Joseph were transferred to Jesus. Jesus was responsible for the whole family and has never abandoned the family, taking good care of

Mary and His siblings from age 12 years to 33 years old. The life of Jesus was mainly spent with His family. All throughout, Jesus was close to Jacob, Jacob is someone

with archaic thinking similar to the Pharisees, someone who loves to pray, someone who loves John the Baptist, and someone who is careful with his life. From all this information, what are the points that are important? Firstly we have to take good care of our own family . Secondly, we have to genuinely care for other people and lastly, serving God and taking care of your family is equally as important.

2. Jacob and Jesus` Ministry

Jesus heal through many miracles, and after Jacob observes this, but he has the thinking that other prophets have also performed these healings before too.

After that Jacob told Jesus ( John 7: 2-5) " We do not agree with the methods used by Jesus and we do not trust you because of this.

Moment when Jacob starts to believe in God

1. On the day Jesus was crucified on the cross, there were 3 people present. They were firstly, Mary, His mother, secondly Mary Magdalene and thirdly, John, Jesus` loved disciple. But there were no other family members. During that time, Jacob remembers that Jesus has always taken care of the family, that Jesus has not done anything wrong,

Jesus always helps people, but Jacob himself has never really helped anyone, and everything regarding Jesus rising from the dead is true, so Jacobs starts to think if it is too late for Jacob if he corrects himself./ When Jesus rose from death, He came to meet Jacob because Jacob really wanted to see Him. We get the idea that someone close to us can be stubborn and refuse to believe. But whatever that can touch the heart of the person is " Speaking the truth, saying what is true will show the real truth" And People will start to realize the truth.

2. Finally, Jacob started to believe in Jesus. ( Acts 1;14 ). Jacob is one of the disciples amongst the 120 disciples that Jesus appeared in the upper room in Jerusalem.
