Hands with Holes

In Exodus 33, during the days of an old covenant,  Moses asked to see the face of God.  God told Moses that no man could see His face and live.  Then God placed His hand over the face of Moses and passed by in all His glory.  Let's fast forward now to the new covenant.  What do the hands of God look like now?  His hands bear the scars and the holes of His sacrifice for us.  What if we dared to ask what Moses asked, to see the face of God.  Could it be that He places His hands over our face and through those holes in His hands we can see the face of God.  Hebrews 10:19-20 says "We have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,  by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body."  The nails were driven through the hands of Jesus and that One Man died,  so that all men could see the face of God.
