He Showed Them His Hands and His Side

"He showed unto them his hands and his side” (John 20:20)

These poor, miserable disciples had forsaken the Lord Jesus in the hour of his greatest need. Peter had denied him three times and even swore that he never knew him. Oh, the guilt they felt upon their conscience for their sin; the shame and fear of it all had now overwhelmed them. They were hiding out in an upper room. All you could hear from them was mourning and weeping and groans - "They mourned and wept," Mark says (Mk. 16:10). Now, in the midst of such felt misery, the resurrected Lord stands in their midst and says, " Peace be unto you". Then he shows unto each of them the prints in his hands and the hole in his side. Then something amazing suddenly happened, "Then," Immediately upon seeing these scars, "Then were the disciples glad."

Their mental misery was gone, "they were glad." Their heaviness was gone, their fear was gone, their anxiety was gone, their loneliness was gone, "They were glad." Oh, think about the sudden and drastic change they experienced!

There is no doubt what brought this sudden change; they saw the scars in his hands and side. What was it about these scars that gave them such gladness? Well, many things no doubt but, think of this; The scars told them that their sins had been atoned for; their sins had been punished, their sins had been put away. Can you imagine such a thing as this, while Peter and the rest of the disciples were mourning over their sins; their sins had already been atoned for! And these scars were the proof of it! ‘Our awful sin! The shame of what we have done! GONE! And here are the scars to prove it!’ How often you and I are so conscience of our sin. The thought of it weighs heavy upon our minds and often effects us in such a negative way. We hide out in our little upper rooms and mourn and weep and we are hardly fit to worship or serve or do any thing. Here is our remedy. By the eye of faith upon the Word of God, get a sight of Jesus scars.

Your sins have been punished to the fullest extent. They have already been atoned for just as surely as the sins of those disciples were. If God has punished them in his Son, why carry them any longer on your conscience? “These are written that you might believe” (Jn. 20:31).
