I'm not too confident because he had a scar on the leg. While traveling I would cover it with trousers. But every time I look at her, I remembered the dark adolescence. Period tinged with mischief and scrappy. The scar is a former lumber puncture while running to evade opponents. If anyone asked, I will explain the cause shyly, and sometimes he advises.
The scar is our teacher. He reminds us of the painful experience. The scars often looks ugly and unattractive views. We also tried to hide it from others. But, the wise will make the lessons to avoid similar injury. If we want to tell, maybe it could change and strengthen others.
Jesus did not hide the puncture wound in his stomach and hands. Instead, tell Tomas touched. As a result, Tomas believe and become disciples of militant preach His gospel. According to tradition, Thomas went to India and North Africa. He did much to stop idolatry. And, because of his persistence, he was thrown into the fire before breathing his last as a result of the thrusts.
Each of us must have "wounds" of the past. But, after we Change the Lord, do not be ashamed and hide it. Of the scar, we can learn to be thoughtful and strengthen others.-PRB
