The Masters Hands

John 20:20 "And when he had so said,he shewed unto them His hands and His side.Then were the disciples glad,when they saw the Lord."

The hands of a person says a lot about the person. Many today use their hands as a way of speaking.  Praying hands, are hands of sacrifice. Clapping hands, are hands of praise,while healing hands are hands that save.Let us look at the hands of Jesus as he showed them to His disiciples.

They were hands of a laboring man,for Jesus was a carpenter,and His hands were used to repair the broken and damages lives of all who sought Him.They were the hands of a servant,He came to minister to, He washed the disciples feet,He took on the form of a servant in the likeness of man to provide man with his every need.They were strong but tender hands, He took little children in His arms and blessed them.They were hands of healing,He healed the sick bodies,blind eyes,palsied limbs.They are hands that support all who are sinking into sin, as they reached out to support Peter as he began to sink in the sea.But they are also wounded hands,as they nailed His hands to the cross.These are speaking hands, they speak a message of love,mercy,and of tender care.

Jesus hands are speaking hands,They are calling all to salvation.As He stretched forth His hand to save Peter,so are His hands stretched forth today to save all who will come and place their hand in the nail scared hands of the Savior.
