Back during WW2, there was a statue that had been bombed in Germany. Locals were trying to repair the statue and prepare it so that it could be on display. And as they began to repair the statue they could not find the hands that went on it. This statue was a picture of Jesus with his arms outstretched and down below the statue were these words. “Come unto me” They looked everywhere for the hands but they could not find them to finish the sculpture. They did not know what to do since it was a very prominent statue. So someone got an idea and this is what they did; they left the arms off the statue and they changed the sign underneath it “He has no hands but your hands” What a powerful picture! The only Jesus that people will see is the one who lives in His body of believers; the Church!
The Church is called to be Jesus' hands on earth. Click To TweetMORE TOPICS

Because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
