The Wounded Hands of Christ

Jesus Christ extends both open hands, revealing the dark nail wounds in His palms. The close view centers entirely on the marks of crucifixion, presenting the resurrected Lord by the signs of His sacrifice rather than by His face. These wounds recall Calvary, where Christ was nailed to the cross, and also the resurrection appearance when He invited His disciples to see and touch His hands as proof that the risen Savior was truly alive. The open palms speak of redemption, peace, and the cost of divine love. For Christian teaching, worship visuals, Easter resources, and reflections on atonement, the image emphasizes that the glory of the risen Christ still bears the marks of His saving passion. by Stan Myers
