Look At The Hands Of The Gift Giver

We are told that every good gift, every perfect gift comes to us from our Father's hands.

We are also told that there is only One mediator between God and man, the Lord Jesus Christ.

This means that absolutely every gift we receive comes to us from our Father's hands, but it doesn't come directly from the Father to us...the Father passes it to His Only Beloved Son, and then the Lord Jesus Christ passes it to us.

This means that whenever you enjoy any happiness, beauty or joy in your life it is only because the Lord Jesus Christ went to the cross to deal with sin, suffering and death...on our behalf.

This means that every good gift is passed to us with scar pierced hands.

God created the world and passed it to man as a gift, man fumbled the ball, plunging the world into darkness, and the 'Light of the world' bent down and picked up the ball that Adam dropped.

He picked it up with hands of love.
Hands that will forever declare their love for us.
Hands that will forever display the holes of cross.

But don't look for Him on the cross...He's not there.
The cross is a sign of death, but death had no hold on the Lord Jesus Christ...He confronted death and swallowed it up.

He arose from the grave...and gives this same hope to us...His followers.

If you are ever feeling depressed and down...I have a pill for your cures...its called the Gospill.

Look to Jesus, look to His cross and empty tomb, look to Him at the right hand of the Majesty on High.

Why did He do it?

Because He loves you.

If that doesn't encourage you...what will?
