PB Devotions

Jesus is raised from the dead and He shows himself to His disciples. Jesus encourages his disciples to look at his hands. He even uses his hands to take some fish and eat it, showing them he is real, having flesh and bones.

The crucified hands of Jesus have inspired artists and poets for 2,000 years. And these same hands are later raised over the disciples in blessing as Jesus parts with them.

Luke records that after Jesus is taken up to heaven, the disciples worship him and return to Jerusalem “with great joy.”
Luke 24:50-53

Sometimes our understanding of the work of Jesus and our response can come across as mechanical; it should never be. I think a key remedy to a mechanical response is to focus on the hands of Jesus. His hands were pierced for you and me. And they still reach out to us, in all our need each day, and bless us.
