Our Easter Celebration service theme this year is Christ’s Hands Of Love. We will look at the hands of Christ and how those hands have changed lives. The hands of Christ lifted up the fallen, healed those whose minds and bodies were racked by disease and suffering. Christ’s hands were quickly opened to welcome the unlovely and the repentant. His hands opened wide to be the sacrifice for your sins and mine on the cross and it was His hands that gave proof of His resurrection. Truly they were hands of love. So we remember that
Jesus said the church was His bride that we would be His body on earth and as such we, Emmanuel Baptist Church, are the hands of Christ. It is our hands that physically pick up the fallen in today’s world but it is the love of Christ, which compels and moves us. I look
forward to celebrating this Easter this great love and seeing His hands move within each one of us.
Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.” Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” John 20:26-29
