Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible presents hands and feet as instruments for worship, work, service, human stewardship, and the saving revelation of Jesus Christ. Ecclesiastes 9:10 calls believers to labor diligently with their hands, while 1 Timothy 2:8 and Psalm 134:2 picture lifted hands in holy, prayerful worship. Psalm 8:6 teaches that God entrusted humanity with responsible dominion under Him. Above all, Psalm 22:16 points forward to Christ's suffering, and John 20:27 and Luke 24:39-40 show the risen Savior bearing the wounds of His crucifixion in His hands and feet. Isaiah 49:16 assures God's people that they are remembered by Him, and Isaiah 52:7 celebrates feet that carry the good news of peace.
