The Pierced Hand

Wednesday. John 6: 27-39.

Jesus is God giving us everything we need. His creative hand gives life itself, and food, clothing, shelter, loved ones, and home for enjoying life. His pierced hand gives a clean heart, an obedient spirit, bodily health, a, strong purpose, and glad service for our fellows. No one can live without bread. And no one lives really to the full without Jesus, taken into his daily life as truly as food is taken into his body.
