“Then Jesus said to Thomas, ‘Put your
finger here; see My hands. Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Stop
doubting and believe.’" (John 20:27
NIV)
As they were looking on, so we too gaze
on His wounds as He hangs. We see His blood as He dies. We see the price
offered by the Redeemer, touch the scars of His resurrection. He bows His head,
as if to kiss you. His heart is made bare open, as it were, in love to you. His
arms are extended that He may embrace you. His whole body is displayed for your
redemption. Ponder how great these things are. Let all this be rightly weighed
in your mind: as He was once fixed to the cross in every part of His body for
you, so He may now be fixed in every part of your soul.
-- Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD)
