Join Dr. J. Vernon McGee as he launches a profound three-part sermon series, Jesus the Man. This episode unfolds the significance of the hands of Jesus, drawing from biblical narratives to demonstrate their powerful symbolism and function. Through heartfelt listener testimonials, we witness the transformative effect of scriptural engagement, emphasizing how Jesus’ hands represent more than humanity—they signify divine love and sacrifice extended to humanity.
SPEAKER 02 :
The foundation, ye saints of the Lord, is laid for your faith.
SPEAKER 01 :
It’s been said that you can tell a lot about a person from their hands. They tell a story, don’t they? Hands build, work, comfort, and even bear the scars of our experiences. Well, in this Sunday Sermon on Through the Bible, we’re going to examine the most significant hands in all of history, the hands of Jesus. As we travel the Bible together, we see the hands of Jesus heal the sick, bless the children, and provide for the multitudes. They reached out in mercy, lifted the fallen, and ultimately bore the wounds of our redemption on the cross. So it’s fitting that today Dr. J. Vernon McGee invites us to behold the hands of Jesus, not just as the hands of a man, but as the hands of a Savior. We begin this journey through Scripture with a passage from John 20, verse 27, where Jesus welcomes Thomas to see and touch his hands. It’s an invitation extended to us as well. What do the hands of Jesus reveal about his nature, his work, and his love for us? Well, I’m Steve Schwetz, and this is the first in a three-part sermon series called Jesus the Man. Over the next three Sundays, we’re going to look at Jesus, not only as fully human, but also as our Lord and Savior. So hop aboard the Bible bus for our message, The Hands of Jesus, and as you get comfortable and prepare your heart for a great study in God’s Word, let’s hear from a few of our fellow listeners. First, we have a voicemail from Hassan in the Bronx, New York.
SPEAKER 03 :
My name is Hassan. I am blind and 63 years of age. I listen to Dr. J. Vernon McGee on Alexa every day. I’m so thankful because I am learning how Dr. McGee actually teaches and what I am receiving. I’m especially thankful for the book of Hebrews explaining our great high priest, Jesus Christ. I’m very thankful for the Bible bus and those who consistently does what God has called them to do, mainly Steve and Greg. I will continue to listen. This is my first trip on the Bible bus, but I am so thankful. The word is transforming in my life, and I’m just so thankful for what he is doing in my life as I continue to learn and grow. I am promptly led to tell someone about through the Bible with Dr. J. Vernon McGee. Please play for my family as I continue to learn and to listen. Thanks again, Steve and Greg. You are a God sent to us here in Bronx, New York.
SPEAKER 01 :
Thank you. Well, it’s so great to have you aboard, Hasan. I’ll be sure to save a seat for you on the Bible bus. Next, Deborah from Virginia shares this. I, along with your other listeners, thank you so much for your dedication to this ministry. I boarded the Bible bus more than 55 years ago and have been eternally blessed by Dr. McGee and his ability to put the cookies on the bottom shelf so the children can get them. but also challenging those with Bible knowledge to look for the deeper meanings and still stay true to the text without going too far from the original intent. He brings the Bible alive with surrounding information. His humor is so delightful too. Never boring, always informative, and honoring to the scriptures. The greatest thing he did for me was to encourage me to seek out a local assembly of believers. At the time, I hadn’t attended church in years. And because he was so learned on spiritual matters, I trusted his judgment and began attending services. So, after listening to him and adding church attendance, I have grown so very much over the years. You know, Dr. McGee is right. Becoming a Christian is instant, but learning to live for Christ is a slow process of God’s tender refining as we study the Bible each day. Praise God, I got on the Bible bus. I am 72 now, and God has been my strength, comfort, and joy all these years. How in the world do people exist without knowing God? He is always there to help, and you are never alone. God bless you all as you continue to air these wonderful messages of truth from God’s precious Holy Word. Well, thank you, Deborah. Thanks so much for encouraging us. And you’re right. He’s always there. That’s the message that Benita recently shared as well. Let’s hear from her.
SPEAKER 04 :
I love to tell a story of how God protected me one August day, a beautiful day. I was out in my backyard reading and something went right in front of my face. And I thought, what is that? And I looked and off to my right, there was an arrow, the kind you shoot a deer with. And I went over and I picked up the arrow and I thought, well, it came from the left. So I walked over to the left. When I got to the fence, there was my neighbor, 17 years old. I said, is this yours? And he said, yeah, I was just shooting at the boat. He was just in his backyard practicing for deer hunting. Shooting at his boat, but he was off about 15 degrees or more. I could be dead. The exciting part to me is that God protected me when I didn’t even know I needed protecting. It was so wonderful to think about because we are facing scary stuff in the future. And I look back at that and I think, you know what? I didn’t even know I needed protecting. And he did protect me. I could have been like a deer, dead, and I could have died right there. I just praise God. I just give glory to God. For his amazing ability to engineer things. And now, one of my things I say to God is, I am trusting you to engineer everything that concerns me. And so, glory to God. Glory to God. This really happened. My name is Bernita. I live in Rochester Hills, Michigan. I listen on WMUZ. I try to listen every day. This is my second time through the Bible. And I’m inspired today. God bless you. I thank God you’re there. Glory to God that you’re there. And glory to God that I found you. And glory to God that I’m still alive and I can tell you other stories. But that one is just amazing to me because I didn’t even know I needed help or protection that day. So God bless you. And I’ll keep listening. And I thank you that you’re there. And I thank God that he’s there. He’s there watching over us all. He really does love us. He really does.
SPEAKER 01 :
Hallelujah. It’s true. You know, regardless of the outcome, we can always trust that God is working for our best. And when we belong to Him, we can trust in His care. What’s your story? How is God’s hand more evident in your life as we study His Word together? We’d love to know. Write and tell us, and maybe we’ll even share your note here on the Sunday Sermon. You can send your note using the feedback feature in our app or email us at biblebus at ttb.org. If you’d rather mail your letter, you can address it to Box 7100, Pasadena, California, 91109, or in Canada, Box 25325, London, Ontario, N6C, 6B1. And if you loved hearing from Hassan and Benita, I know that others would love hearing from you. So call and share your story at 1-800-65-BIBLE, won’t you? In the options, you’ll hear one for leaving your Bible bus story, and that’s the one that you want. From there, well, it’s just as simple as listening to the prompt and recording your voicemail. The number again, 1-800-652-4253. Now, before we dive into our sermon, let’s take a moment to pray. Heavenly Father, thank you for the power of your word. and the testimonies of your people. We are so grateful that you are faithful, always present, that you’re guiding and protecting and leading us closer to you. Lord, as we look at the hands of Jesus, we ask that you’d open our hearts to see more than just his humanity. Help us to see the love, the sacrifice, the redemption that’s offered through him. May we be drawn into deeper fellowship with you and trust that no matter what we face, we are safe in your hands. In Jesus’ name, amen. Here’s the Sunday sermon on Through the Bible with Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
SPEAKER 02 :
We begin a series of sermons on the theme, Jesus the Man. It was Pilate who, when Jesus came forth wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, which had been given to him in mockery, who said, Behold the man. And that’s all that he saw of Coas. And what a contrast it is to have this at the conclusion of the Gospel of John when it opened with a statement of John the Baptist, his forerunner, who said, Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world. And so I trust that as we look at Jesus the man, we’ll see beyond that in this series. This morning our subject is the hands of Jesus. And if we have a text, it would be the 20th chapter of John at verse 27. Then saith he to Thomas, that is the Lord Jesus to Thomas, reach hither thy finger and behold my hands. And so we have an invitation here. Jesus invited Thomas. to look at his hands. He insisted and actually compelled him to take a look. And today that invitation, I think, is for us also. Hands are probably the most human part of our anatomy. We do more things with our hands than any other part of our body. Most of us make a living by the use of our hands. The doctor does, the lawyer, the scientists, and even the preacher. We talk with our hands, if you please. Many of us probably are more eloquent with our hands than we are with our mouth. And then we get in trouble with our hands also. And a sign that you see in many places, hands off, because these hands get us in trouble. Hands are an index to our character. The use of the hands reveals certain character traits. Tell whether we’re grasping or whether we’re giving. With our hands we can bless or pronounce a benediction or even throw a bomb. We can pull a trigger on a gun or place a thank-a offering on an altar with our hands. With our hand, we write an epistle, or we can wield a pistol. We can do either one with our hand. And therefore, it’ll be profitable today for us to look at the hands of Jesus. And he said, behold, my hands. And so as we look at them, there are certain features that we want to call your attention to. And the first one is, when I look at the hands of Jesus, The first thing that impresses me is that they’re the hands of a man. He was a man in every sense of that term. He began as a little baby. He was born a baby yonder in Bethlehem. It was George McDonough that put it like that. He said they were looking for a king to lift them high. He came a little baby thing. that made a woman cry. He came that way. And it was Leslie Savage in his poem who said, a baby’s hands in Bethlehem were small and softly curled, but held within their dimpled grasp the hope of half the world. And then there is that lovely little definition of a baby that someone has written. a ball-red head, a puckered face, hands blindly wandering into space, a wee faint smile, a stalwart squall, and yards of clothes to hide it all. That’s a baby. And that was his picture, if you please. He came that little baby thing into the world. And he grew into boyhood. Dr. Luke. was the doctor, you remember, that looked him over as he grew. And he gives us the only record. He says in the second chapter of his gospel, verse 40, And the child grew and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him. He played as a child yonder in Nazareth. He romped with the other children. He laughed. He steadied. His hands got soiled and he had to wash them. And it was Luke again who looked at him when he was 12 years old and he could report in Luke 2, 52, and Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man. So he grew. That’s all we do now. From a juvenile to a junior, then to manhood. Like every other kid in Nazareth, he grew up, and I’m sure that one day someone, as he went by, said, Mary’s son is really becoming a fine-looking young man, isn’t he? Then he was 30 years of age, and he began his ministry. He walked the rugged trails of Palestine. He grew weary. He sat down to rest because he was human. He slept. He went to sleep in a boat one time. They had to wake him up. That’s certainly human. He grew hungry. He could grow thirsty. He was even faint at times. He was tempted. He could feel pain. He prayed, he loved, and he rejoiced as any other human being. He was perfectly human. And I do not want to be misunderstood with that. I do not mean he was a perfect human being. He was that. But I’m saying something else just now. He was perfectly human. He comes across the centuries and is as familiar as if he’d been raised on our street. He’s not aloof. You don’t find him that way. The lowly. always felt at home in his presence, and they still do. He was not a sanctimonious snob. He was not a quoter of pious platitudes. The publicans felt at ease in his presence and sinners gathered around him. Martha scolds him. Peter rebukes him. Thomas actually questions him. And all of them asked foolish questions of him, yet all of them worshipped him. He’s warm. He’s not austere. He’s not inaccessible. And the perfume of his presence has come down through the centuries. He was gentle, but not weak. He had courage, but he was not brutal. He stretched out his hands and the little children came to him, so much so that the poet has written, I think when I read that sweet story of old, when Jesus was here among men, how he called little children as lambs to his foal, I should like to have been with him then. I wish that his hands had been placed on my head, that his arms had been thrown around me, and that I might have seen his kind look when he said, Let the little ones come unto me. I say to you this morning, he was perfectly human, and he knew what trouble and suffering was. There is a passage in Hebrews, And I must confess that I have as much difficulty with Hebrews as I do with the epistle to the Romans. I sometimes wish I knew what the writers really were talking about. I want to turn to the second chapter of Hebrews and read a passage here. And I’m reading from the Amplified New Testament. I read from it because as far as I can tell, it’s the closest to what I think that the writer’s saying, and yet I couldn’t do better, I know, and so I read the Amplified. Will you listen to this? Rather extended passage, beginning of verse 9. You follow your translation. But we are able to see Jesus, who was ranked lower than the angels for a little while, crowned with glory and honor because of his having suffered death in order that by the grace of God he might experience death for every individual person. But it was an act worthy and fitting of his divine nature that he for whose sake and by whom all things have their existence in bringing many sons into glory should make the leader of their salvation perfect, that is, mature through sufferings. For both he who sanctified and those who are sanctified all have one Father. For this reason he’s not ashamed to call them brethren. For he says, I will declare your name to my brethren in the midst of the worshiping congregation. I will sing hymns of praise to you. And again he says, my trust and assured reliance shall be fixed in him. And yet again, here I am and the children whom God has given me. Now, verse 14, will you notice? He is. since therefore children share in flesh and blood that is in the physical nature of human beings he in a similar manner partook of the same that by going through death he might bring to naught and make of no effect him who had the power of death that is the devil and also that he might deliver and completely set free all those who through the fear of death were held in bondage throughout the whole course of their lives. For as we all know, he did not take hold of angels to give them a helping and delivering hand, but he did take hold of the descendants of Abraham to reach them a helping and delivering hand. So it is evident that it was essential that he be made like his brethren in every respect in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the things related to God to make atonement and propitiation for the people’s sins. For because he himself has suffered in being tempted, he is able… to run to the cry of those who are being tempted and tested and tried. What a picture, my friend, that is, of the Lord Jesus. He knew what trouble was down here. And since he knew what trouble was and he endured it down here, we’re told he’s able to help those today. who have trouble. And trouble is just the cement that binds all of us together. We all have trouble. The song goes, nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen. I have news for you. The song is wrong. Somebody does know the trouble you’ve seen because he knew that trouble. And none of us have endured all trouble as he did. It’s been put in this whimsical little verse like this. The good Lord sends me troubles and I have to work them out. But I look around and see there’s trouble all about. And when I see my troubles, I just look up and grin and count up all the troubles that I’m not in. May I say to you, none of you have all the troubles. He had them all. He bore them all for you and me. He was human. Those hands were the hands of a man. And one day they arrested him and they took those hands and nailed him to a cross until those hands were dead. Then they took him down and buried him. As I see the hands of Jesus, I see the hands of a man. There’s something else. The second tremendous thing In fact, I see as I look at the hands of Jesus, they’re the hands of a working man. And that enlarges and enhances my conception of him today. I don’t think we can fill in those silent years exactly, but we do know some things about those silent years. From 12 to 30, there’s no reference concerning him. But we know, according to the tradition of that day, that a Hebrew boy, up to the time he was 14, he studied and then he was initiated into worship. He had his bar mitzvah, is that it? And he had his. And then he was taught a trade. Every Hebrew boy was taught a trade. It was said by the rabbis, he that teacheth his son not a trade, teacheth him to be a thief. And just as Paul was a tent maker, the Lord Jesus was a carpenter because Joseph was a carpenter and Joseph taught Mary’s son to be a carpenter. And if tradition is accurate, and it may be, Joseph died when Jesus was still in his teens. And he became the head of the house. He was the carpenter of Nazareth. When he started out, that’s what they saw, and that’s what they said, and they were accurate. Behold the carpenter. That’s what he was. My friend, he had the hands of a working man. And that day that he entered the temple, having made a whip out of cords and drove the money changers out, why do you think they went out? Because they thought he was God. They did not. They saw a man that was big enough and strong enough to put them out, and they got out. The hands of a working man, if you please. And it’s interesting to me to note A laboring man will someday settle all the disputes of this world. That’s a very interesting commentary, but it will be this laboring man, if you please, who will settle the disputes of this world. So when I look at his hands, I see the hands of a working man. And then I look again, and I see the hands of a sinless man. And that makes his hands different from all others. It was the psalmist in Psalm 24 who said, Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands and a pure heart, who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor swollen deceitfully. Well, that lets me out. I don’t think I could be in the Holy Hill on that kind of a requirement. And I’m not sure, but I don’t think you could be on the Holy Hill on that kind of a requirement, but he can. Sinless hands, have you ever noticed what the word of God has to say concerning him? He says, which of you convinceth me of sin? And after 1900 years, It’s still a good question. They have not been able to convict him of sin yet. He was sinless. And you find that the Word of God is very careful to emphasize that. John in his epistle, 1st Epistle 3, 5 says, in him is no sin. Peter in 1st Peter 2, 22, who did no sin. And Paul in 2nd Corinthians 5, 21, who knew no sin. He knew no sin. He did no sin. And there’s no sin in him. The writer to the Hebrews says in Hebrews 4.15 that he’s without sin, holy, harmless, undefiled, and separate from sinners. And the man that probably was closer to him as an enemy was Judas. And Judas spied on him for three years. And if there was anything wrong in his life, Judas would have discovered it. And Judas admitted, even after he betrayed him, I have betrayed innocent blood. And he could say this, the prince of this world cometh and he finds nothing in me. What about you? Every time he comes around me, there’s always a handle there somewhere to take hold of. But when he came to the Lord Jesus, he found nothing in him. I see the hands of a sinless man. That’s not all. I see something else. I see the hands of a friend who can help. Have you ever noticed that Christ performed most of his ministry with his hands? There was power in the touch of his hands and I won’t add this, there’s been no power in any man’s hands since then. With his hands he touched the sightless and staring eyes of a blind man. A leper came and we are told that Jesus put forth his hand and touched him. Peter’s mother-in-law was sick and he reached out his hand and he took her by the hand. He took five loaves and two little fishes and he put them in his hands and he multiplied them and passed them out to the multitude. He went into the home where the little daughter of Jairus lay dead and he put forth his hand and took her by the hand and he said to her, little lamb, wake up. And she waked up. There was a funeral coming out of the city. It was a widow’s son. He broke up every funeral he ever attended, and he touched the casket with his hand. It was over the tombstone of Oliver Goldsmith in St. Paul’s Cathedral that you find this inscription. He touched nothing that he did not adorn himself. I do not know whether that is always accurate concerning Oliver Goldsmith, but I do know this, that everything that Jesus touched was adorned with new beauty and new life, and there’s still power in the touch of his hand. May I say I see something else? I see the hands of a Savior. Will you notice what Zechariah had to say It’s a prophecy that has not yet been fulfilled, will be at his second coming. Zechariah 13, 6 says, And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friend. Zechariah says the day is coming that when he comes again, that even those who crucified him will say, what in the world is the meaning of those wounds in your hand? And he says, I received those in the house of my friends. Zechariah also adds that then they’ll weep and wail because they’ll recognize then that he was the one that they’d crucified. Thomas is a forerunner of unbelieving Israel. Thomas had deceived. And when he saw He fell down and said, my Lord and my God. That’ll be the position yet in the future of the nation Israel. But my friend, when he was crucified yonder on the cross, those hands were outstretched there. The enemies gathered around and they said, come down from the cross. And they said it in mockery. They didn’t believe he would come down, and he didn’t come down. Because if he had come down, you and I’ll never be able to go up. But since he did not come down, our hope is someday we will go up. But in that crowd there that day, there’s a man that I’m almost sure was present. I could not prove it. I will not insist upon it, but I think he was there. There was a brilliant young Pharisee studying in Jerusalem by the name of Saul of Tarsus. I think he was really the hope of the people. I think Gamaliel had pointed him out and said, this young man has a tremendous future. He was brilliant. He hated Jesus. He says that he did. No enemy of Jesus has been quite as bad and ferocious as this man. He hated him. I do not believe that the day they crucified Jesus that this young man stayed home. I don’t think he would have missed it for anything. And in that crowd of Pharisees gathered there that day, when they shot out the lip at him, I think Saul of Tarsus shot out the lip. When they mocked him, he mocked him. He hated him. Then one day he met him. And when he met him, came to know him as his own personal savior, this man could go back to that cross and he could look at those hands that were outstretched and see something he never saw before. Those hands are outstretched for me. And then Paul could write, he loved me and he gave himself for me. He was there that day and saw his hands. It was someone else that came when he died. Two men had been in hiding. They were rich men. They were prominent men. Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus. These men, as long as he was alive, stayed undercover. The minute that he was arrested and died, they came out in the open and the disciples, the apostles, went undercover. They take down the bodies. I’m almost sure that as they took down the body, they talked. I’m sure that when they put it in Joseph’s new tomb and they began to put the ointment, that hundred pounds worth, and also wind the linen cloth around him, I’m sure that Nicodemus said, Joseph, it was about three years ago here in Jerusalem one night, the first time that I ever met him, he told me that night something I at that time knew nothing about, a new birth. And he said in order to experience that new birth, that he’d have to be lifted up. He says, as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up. And then he gave me this statement, God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him might not perish but have everlasting life. And I’ll be honest with you, Joseph, at that time it was very meaningless to me. But you see those hands? Before we bind them up, take a look at them. You see those ragged nails, scars there, the open wounds? Joseph, those hands were wounded for my sin and revealed that God loved me. He gave his son to die for me. See from his head, his hands, his feet. Sorrow and love flow mingled down, did e’er such love and sorrow meet. Our thorns composed so rich a crown. The Hands of Jesus. Let’s follow Leslie Savage’s poem on. A baby’s hands in Bethlehem were small and softly curled, but helped within their dimpled grasp the hope of half the world. Our carpenters in Nazareth were skilled with tool and wood. They laid the beams of simple homes and found their labor good. A healer’s hands in Galilee were stretched to all who came for him to cleanse their hidden wounds or cure the blind and lame. Long ago the hands of Christ were nailed upon a tree, but still their holy touch redeems the hearts of you and me. There is still power in the hands. Will you take one more look at those hands? With those hands, he holds his own today. My sheep, hear my voice. I know them. They follow me, and I give unto them eternal life. They shall never perish. Neither shall any created thing pluck them out of my hand. He holds his own today with nail-scarred hand. A little boy one night said, I’m thirsty. His mama said, go into the kitchen and get a drink. He says, it’s dark, I’m afraid. the daddy of the little boy got up and took him by the hand and led him into the darkness. And the little fellow looked up as he brushed his tears away and said, Daddy, I’m not afraid now. May I say that he holds his own today in the world. And then in closing, He today holds out his hands to this world. Have you ever noticed that for 1900 years he has been blessing this world? He ascended into heaven in the attitude of blessing. The last view that the world had of him, his hands were outstretched, not on the cross, but outstretched in blessing. That’s very suggestive. Paul, in writing to the Romans, in Romans 10, 21, he says, But to Israel he saith all day long, Have I stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people? And today his hands are outstretched to this world. This idea today that God is somehow or another with a big club wanting to hit somebody. His hands are outstretched to a world today. And he wants to say, behold, I stand at the door and knock. You knock with the hand. If any man will open the door, I’ll come in to him and sup with him and he with me. And that’s the human heart with his hands today. He knocks at your heart’s door. H.B. Stowe put it like this, knocking, knocking, who is there? Waiting, waiting, oh, how fair. There’s a pilgrim strange and kingly, never such was seen before. Ah, my soul, for such a wonder wilt thou not undo the doer? Knocking, knocking, still he’s there. Waiting, waiting, wondrous fair, but the door’s hard to open. For the weeds and ivy vine with their dark and clinging tendrils ever round the hinges twine. Knocking, knocking, What’s still there? Waiting, waiting, grand and fair. Yes, the pierced hand still knocketh. And beneath the crowned hair beam the patient eyes so tender of thy Savior waiting there. He’s knocking at your heart’s door, friend. Look at his hand. Look at his hand. The psalmist said, My times are in thy hand. Deliver me from the hand of mine enemies and from them that persecute me. That was the cry of the psalmist. And friends, today, don’t look at your hands. I don’t know. Those lines mean nothing. My times are in thy hand. And your eternal destiny today is in the hands of Jesus Christ. My times are in thy hands, Jesus the crucified. Those hands my cruel sins have pierced are now my guard and guide. The hands of Jesus. Won’t you look at them? the hands of a Savior and a sovereign today. I’m wondering if you are present today and maybe the Spirit of God has made audible to your inner ear the knocking of this Savior. He not only died for you 1,900 years ago, but patiently Patiently he comes to your heart’s door and he’ll come no father. He’ll come no father. He’ll never crash the door. He’ll never break it in. In fact, he will not even open it. You have to open it. That’s your part. My part is over. I’ve tried to let you see the hands of Jesus. but you’ll have to open the door.
