Nail Pierced Hands!
"He showed them His hands and
His side. Then the disciples were
glad when they saw the Lord."
John 20: 20
Petr Jasek, a worker with Voice of the Martyrs,
was arrested in Sudan and imprisoned for 445
days, sometimes housed with ISIS warriors.
Other times he was in solitary confinement or
crammed in overcrowded cells
with convicts.
The first five months he was without his Bible,
but he sustained himself on his Bible
memory
verses and hymns. Occasionally he was able
to exchange mail with his family.
In one letter he wrote: “The longer I’m in prison,
the greater my joy grows, and from Jesus’s nail-
pierced hand, I'm experiencing new touches. All
this we can explain only by the sacrifice of Jesus
Christ who has loved us. I'm living, knowing, and
feeling the tremendous protection and intervention
from God’s hands, especially when there's danger.”
When you walk through a difficult situation,
remember the Lord gives you new touches
with His nail-pierced hands. He never leaves
you, especially when there is danger; He is
with you through fire and flood. He is your
refuge and very present help.
"God is giving me strength in my
weakness… and He will be the One
who finishes this fight instead of me."
Petr
Jasek
