HE HOLDS OUR HAND

“The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

John 20:25

King James Version

Thomas Dorsey wrote a beautiful hymn about Jesus holding our hand "Precious Lord, Take My Hand". “Precious Lord, take my hand, Lead me on, let me stand, I am tired, I am weak, I am worn; Through the storm, through the night, Lead me on to the light:”

We are living in a world that is filled with violence, alcohol, drugs, murders, rapes, wife and children abuse and we desperately need our precious Saviour to take our hand and hold it. This life is too hard without Jesus. We can’t make it without Him. Without Jesus, we aren’t living, we are just existing.

George O. Webster wrote one of my favorite hymns “I need Jesus, my need I now confess”. The words in this hymn are so true. “I need Jesus, my need I now confess; No friend like Him in times of deep distress; I need Jesus, the need I gladly own; Though some may bear their load alone, Yet I need Jesus.” Thank You, Jesus, for loving us and holding our hand.
