Truth with Hands
He had worked for months skillfully carving the beautiful statute of his Goddess. Hour upon hour he slaved away crafting a shape which was to be the epitome of human beauty. The face eyes which seemed almost blue, hair that seemed to catch and blow in the wind. Chest, arms and legs all breathtaking.
Finally the artist was ready to show his completed work to world, eager to see Goddess who was suppose to be the epitome of human beauty a man rush to see it. At first he was awe struck, but he left weeping crying “she has no hands, SHE HAS NO HANDS.”
Paul tells us to follow his example as he follows the example of Christ. Dose Christ have hands? If you doubt our Lord has hands see Him as he stretches them forth to comfort Thomas. “See from his head his hands and his feet sorrow and love flow mingled down... Love so amazing so divine demands my soul, my life my all.” When my soul aches, and my spiritual heart pounds in my chest as I complete this last leg of the race, as I wonder if my time hear has been successful, I remember that love which demands my all, and the hands of the master who said “go and do likewise.”
As you pray for us pray that this week we would be Christ hands, to our teammates, teachers, students, and friends.
