(~) God Needs Our Hands
At the end of World War II a group of soldiers offered to help the people
of a destroyed village in any way they could. But instead of asking for
food, money, or farm equipment, the townsmen asked for help in restoring a
statue. For years their proudest possession had been a statue of Christ in
their own town square. Now it lay shattered into many pieces. Could the
soldiers help put it together again?
It was a difficult task, chips and pieces lay all over the square. Finally
the statue was repaired except for two missing parts that the soldiers
could not find. Finished, they covered the statue with a silken parachute,
so that it could be unveiled in a ceremony before the townspeople, even
though it was incomplete.
On the occasion the mayor of the town gave a speech and pulled the cord of
the silken drape... It dropped from the statue, showing a Christ without
hands.
At first the townspeople were shocked. Then they looked down at a sign
which the soldiers had put at the feet of the statue. It said: "I have no
hands. Won't you please lend me yours?"
Matthew 25:40 says: "Whenever you did something for one of the least
important of these brothers of mine, you did it for me."
