IN ONE SMALL European village was a town square that held a special statue. . .

This statue was the pride and joy of the small town, but World War II arrived and soon the bombs began falling on the town.

One day the statue was hit and blown to pieces.

The residents collected all the shattered pieces and slowly did what they could to re-create it.

When they finished the reconstruction of their beloved statue of Jesus, they noticed the only pieces missing were the hands.

So they placed a plaque at the base of the statue with the words:

Now we are the only hands Jesus has.  H. Norman Wright, “Called To Help A Friend,” HELPING THOSE WHO HURT, 7

“And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’”  Matthew 25:40
