Helping Hands
Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Apr 12, 2024 (message contributor)
Dr. Wright shares this story which I believe is appropriate for us to think about this morning as we close:
In a small European village was a town square that held a special statue. This statue of Jesus was the pride and joy of this small town, But World War II arrived, and soon the bombs began falling on the town. One day the statue was hit and blown to pieces. The residents collected all the shattered pieces and slowly did what they could to re-create it. When they finished their reconstruction, the only pieces missing were the hands of Jesus, so they placed a plaque at the base of the statue with the words, “Now we are the only hands that Jesus has” (27).
