Hands of Christ
"But we Christians have no veil over our faces; we can be
mirrors that brightly reflect the glory of the Lord" (2
Corinthians 3:18, niv).
Following World War II some German students volunteered to
help rebuild a cathedral in England, one that had been
badly damaged by the Luftwaffe bombings. As the work
progressed, they weren't sure how to best restore a large
statue of Jesus with his arms outstretched and bearing the
familiar inscription, "Come unto me."
They were able to repair all the damage to the statue
except for Christ's hands which had been completely
destroyed. Should they even attempt to rebuild these?
The workers reached a decision that still stands today.
They decided to leave the hands off and changed the
inscription to read: "Christ has no hands but ours."
While Jesus Christ paid the price and purchased our
salvation on the cross with his life, he left the
"hands-on" work of building his kingdom in your hands and
mine. We are his representatives and for many, the only
Christ they will ever see is "the Christ" living in you and
me. A poster on the office wall at Wheaton College says it
all:
The living truth is what I long to see,
I cannot live on what used to be,
So close your Bible and show me how
The Christ you talk about is living now.
Suggested prayer: "Dear God, please use 'my hands' and help
me to be as Christ, first to my loved ones, and to whomever
you bring into my life today. Grant that they, seeing Jesus
in me, will want you in their life too. Thank you for
hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus'
name, amen."
