Why Jesus Kept His Scars After the Resurrection | Isaiah 49:16 | 5-Min Daily Devotional | Wednesday 15 April 2026
What if the most powerful thing about the risen Jesus wasn't that his wounds were gone - but that he kept them? If you're carrying a scar you've been trying to hide, this one is for you.
In today's devotional, we explore one of the most quietly astonishing details of the resurrection: Jesus walked out of the tomb still wounded - and he showed those wounds on purpose. Drawing on John 20 and Isaiah 49:16, we discover what it means that your name is written on the hands that still carry their scars.
*In this video:*
+ Why the risen Jesus chose to keep his wounds
+ What Isaiah 49:16 reveals about God's love for you
