This Hand.

Last weekend for Easter I was up visiting my Mother-in-Law and all of my wife’s family, and on Sunday we all went to church together where she attends (a local Baptist church). All in all it was a pleasant enough service though in my opinion a little too on the mundane side of things for the day we celebrate Jesus’s Resurrection from the dead - proving to all that he is indeed God’s Messiah. However at the end of the sermon and just before the dismissal prayer was done, the Pastor had the A/V guy in the back roll a short little video presentation (basically a slide-show of images set to music) entitled “This Hand”. I had never seen it before and I must say it was extremely powerful. Though I had figured out where things were going before the end, it still brought a tear to my eye and a big lump in my throat. Needless to say that it had the same effect on many in the congregation as there were a lot of sniffles during the final prayer. Though I must say that hearing the back ground music of “Amazing Grace” tends to have that effect on me quite often. I even remember being all teary-eyed many years ago when I was younger and hearing it played during the end of the movie “Star Trek II” (when Mr. Spock dies).

When I got back home I searched the internet for it and found it. I thought it would be perfect to include here on the blog for everyone to experience. I hope you will find it beneficial in some way and if so possibly pass it along to others who might as well.

    Very moving. Thank you for that, Ron. What love our lord has shown us! My hands have done many sins, yet his were pierced so that I might die to sin and live to God.
