Wounded Hands of the Risen Christ

The hands of Jesus are shown open, bearing the nail wounds of the crucifixion in each palm. The exposed scars declare both the suffering of Calvary and the bodily resurrection of Christ, where the marks of death remain as testimony to redemption. This subject recalls the risen Lord inviting His disciples to behold His hands, and especially the moment when Thomas was confronted with tangible evidence of the resurrection. The wounds are not hidden; they become the sign of victory, mercy, and fulfilled sacrifice. Suitable for Easter, Holy Week, Resurrection Sunday, apologetics teaching, communion themes, and sermons on faith, doubt, atonement, and the risen Christ. by Stan Myers
