will pierce even your own soul

So 0-fer yesterday. Consider today's doubleheader as the raindate.

Imagery used in today's sermon of the rewardcrown placed atop your (un)deserving head before the throne by nail-pierced hands. And the question that arose was whether or not those hands will be whole/hole for eternity.

On the one, you have the notion of a renewing above. Your being will be entire in ways you never were before. Wounds shall be closed that, like me, you tend to carry for longer than need be. All that hurt shall be healed forever. Those blessed scars and the savingholes -- all gone.

On the other, you have the notion of glory incarnate. He, in every form, glory. And there was no greater glory won than through those savingholes. Your belief is that all that is bad will not exist above, and that is true. But those savingholes -- nothing bad about them. Only glory, a beauty no less teary than His eyes of love.
