His Hands And Feet-A Devotional

A story was told that after the war a local church had occurred some damage to there sanctuary. During the clean up, the parishioner noticed that the statue of Jesus which was in the front yard area had also been damaged and the hands and feet were broken off.

Hearing of this, a professional sculpturer paid a visit to the chapel and offered his services to repair the statue to its original state. After carefully considering the generous offer, the parishioner thanked the man but decided to keep it displayed as it now was. He then made a plaque that was placed next to the statue of Jesus that read; “We are to be His hands and feet”.

Whether this story was actually true or not, the message rings clear to every follower of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Matthew 25:35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’

Serving Him together,
Michael
