Christ's Hands
Mark 10:45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.
The story is told about a church that was destroyed during the heat of a mighty battle. Workers clearing the rubble found a statue of Christ with the hands missing. When a famous sculptor offered to restore the hands, the church officers declined, saying that the statue of a handless Christ had become to them a symbol of the Lord's use of the hands of His followers to serve Him through loving deeds for others.
As followers of Christ we are called to be His hands, feet, voice, heart.
Matthew 22:37-39 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'
___________
Thank You Lord for Your servant Jesus, show each of us how to be a servant like this. Lord use our hands to serve others; our lips to preach to others; our feet to reach others; and our warm hearts to revive the cold heart of another. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
