Why did Jesus still have wounds after the resurrection?
At the end of the Gospel this past Sunday, we get a look at Jesus’ resurrected wounds. Not the gory, bloody wounds of the crucifixion, but the wounds that Jesus retained even after he rose from the dead.
I think that he retained his wounds because it is through those wounds that we are saved. Those wounds are beautiful because they reflect our salvation.
Do you have wounds that God has healed? Don’t hide them, but allow them to bear witness to the power of God.
