Sermons and Orders of Worship for Lent and Easter
A little girl named Charlotte went with her grandmother on a shopping trip downtown. When she returned home her parents were talking with her about the trip, what she had seen, how she liked it. They asked her if she had been afraid among all those people and cars as she crossed the street. She said, "No. The big policeman held up his strong hands and all the cars stopped and Charlotte crossed over."
Jesus the carpenter had hands bronzed by the sun, strong hands. And with those great, strong hands He came to be the hands of God lifting up a fallen humanity.
