What Does Luke 24:40 Mean?
Matching word with deed, Jesus holds out his hands and his feet for their inspection — the marks of crucifixion offered to every eye in the room (Psalm 22:16; John 20:20).
The risen Christ keeps his scars. Glory did not erase the marks of love; he carries the evidence of the cross into resurrection. Those wounds are now credentials — enduring signs of what our redemption cost him. The hands held out to convince the disciples are the hands that were stretched out on the cross, and they are extended toward us still.
