Many
of the people in Nazareth were astonished by Jesus’ teaching and asked, “How
are these miracles performed by His hands?” (Mark 6:2). Here are some of
the miracles that came through His hands.
1. Provision
through His hands.
Have you ever wondered how Jesus turned 5 loaves and 2 fish into enough food to
feed over 5,000 people? At some point in time the multiplication had to take
place. Mark 6:41 gives us the answer: “He blessed the food and broke the loaves
and He kept giving them to the disciples to set before them.” As the
food was passing through His hands it multiplied!
2. Healing
through His hands.
He touched the leper with His hand and healed him (Matthew 8:3). He laid His hands on a blind man’s eyes and he could see
everything clearly (Mark 8:25). He laid
His hands on a woman who had been bent over double for 18 years and
immediately she stood up straight (Luke 13:13). How was God’s healing power transferred
to others to make them well? Through His hands.
3. Salvation
through His hands. When
the Romans crucified Jesus, they drove nails into His hands. As they did this,
the blood He shed purchased salvation for all who will place their trust in Him
(Acts 20:28, 1 Peter 1:18-19). After He rose from the dead, He showed Thomas
the imprint of the nails in His hands and said, “Reach here your finger and see
My hands” (John20:27). He will have the nail scars in His hands for all
eternity to remind us of what He did to obtain our salvation.
Although
Jesus is not physically on earth anymore, His hands can still touch you. He
promised to be with us (in Spirit) even until the end of the world (Matt.
28:20). Do you need a touch from God? Call out to Him in faith and those same
hands that fed the multitudes, healed the sick, and paid for your sins can
still touch you.
