The Power of His Love:
After Jesus’ death and resurrection, He appeared to His disciples and showed them the scars in His hands and side (John 20:20). Thomas wasn’t there, so he doubted the news (v. 25). Jesus returned and told him to touch His scars and not “be faithless any longer” (v. 27). His doubts gone, Thomas responded, “My Lord and my God!” (v. 28).
Jesus died to take our sins away. His scars identify Him as the Lamb who was slain for us (Revelation 5:6)!
We can believe and rejoice and be filled with hope, for one day He’ll hold us in His nail-scarred hands. –
What emotional or mental wounds do you still bear? How have you experienced healing through Jesus?
Dear Jesus, thank You for being scarred for me. Help me to rejoice in You.
