The God with Scars

Speaking of Jesus’ deep, deep love, I’m curious. Have you ever thought about the fact that Jesus has scars? The Bible talks about His five crucifixion scars: one on each hand and one on each foot where the nails pinned Him to that tree. And one in His side where a soldier pierced Him with a spear to make sure He was good and dead.

And He was. That’s why His followers were so terrified when He appeared to them three days later. Thomas wasn’t there that day, so his friends stumbled all over themselves telling him what he had missed. Thomas said, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe” (John 20:25).

He wanted proof. Visible proof. So eight days later, Jesus found Thomas. He said, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.” And when Thomas saw Jesus’ scars, he breathed, “My Lord and my God!” (verses 27–28).

I love what Jesus said next, because He was talking about you and me: “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed” (verse 29).
