Talking to Jesus one morning, a question came to mind. Why did our risen Savior keep His scars when He visited His followers before He went to heaven?
He could have closed up the holes in his wrists and side. Maybe they were kept in part so His followers would believe (like Thomas). I think they remained in part as a testimony of His love and sacrifice, as if to say, 'Oh, you don't think I love you? Look here, child. Look here.'
I wonder if He bears those scars today.
