I recently watched (virtually) a dear Manna Sister share a word from the Lord. It was a deliciously refreshing word, the kind that picks up your spirit and empowers you. Within her message, she shared a verse that resonated on the inside of me:
Look at [the marks in] My hands and My feet, [and see] that it is I Myself. Touch Me and see; a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.” After saying this, He showed them His hands and His feet. (Luke 24:39-40 AMP)
Jesus was speaking to His disciples after His Resurrection. Isn’t it interesting that Jesus didn’t present Himself to them without the scars? I, mean, He’s God, so He certainly could have. Instead, He used those scars to show them that He was real.
I sat there reading the Scripture over and over. It made me take a moment to reflect on my own life. I recently shared with many of you via Zoom about the miraculous healing I experienced, as God saved my life. What I didn’t spend a whole lot of time on was the huge scar that the surgery left.
