When I think about Jesus after He rose, I imagine His wounds shining like bright light. Even though He is full of glory, He still keeps His wounds. That makes me feel like they must be very important.
It seems like Jesus keeps His wounds as a kind of loving reminder. They show how much He loves us and what He went through for us. They are not sad anymore—they are like beautiful signs of His victory over sin and death.
The saints loved to think about His wounds too. They did not chase after riches or honors. Instead, they wanted to be close to Jesus, even if it meant suffering like He did. They wanted to remember Him in everything and stay faithful, no matter what was hard.
One day, all the suffering they went through for Jesus will turn into something beautiful and full of joy forever.
So I think we should ask Jesus to help us remember His love all the time and to love Him back, even in little hard things. Then, when the time comes at the end of our lives, we won’t be afraid. We will feel close to Him and trust Him.
Sometimes I wonder…
Do I try to be brave when things are hard?
And when I think about Jesus’ wounds, does it make me want to do something loving for Him?
