Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hand. Isaiah 49:16 When the High Priest went into the Holy of Holies on the Day of Atonement, he carried the names of the tribes of Israel inscribed upon precious stones on his shoulders, and on his breast. But our Great High Priest does not bear our names upon precious stones that he wears, but by the wounds that He bears. He bears them upon the palms of His hands, and for all of eternity, fresh anthems of praise will fill the vault of heaven as we look upon Him, as John saw Him, “as a Lamb that had been slain” (Rev. 5:6). —W. H. Burnett On His hands our names are graven; On His shoulders we are borne; Of our God beloved in Jesus, We can love Him in return. —R. C. Chapman Choice Gleanings Daily Devotional Calendar
