Today is Good Friday, when we remember how an innocent man was condemned to death simply because he proclaimed a kingdom of justice and love – God’s Kingdom. Today we remember the man Jesus who, in a mystery we cannot understand in this life, was also God. Because the cross only makes sense if God sacrificed himself.
I felt moved to sketch the above picture and write this reflection on the hands of Christ …
These hands,
His hands.
Gnarled
Lined
Scarred
Tarred
Worn
Torn
Arthritic
Philippic
Healing
Feeling
Calming
Alarming
Touching
Crushing
Soothing
Accusing…
Accused.
His hands,
These hands,
Our hands.
