three things I things of this scripture. Christ 's hands of healing were pierced by nails and these are the very hands he stretched out and bid them to come to him and ever since he has left these open arms to the world as a sign of invitation into his kingdom and promise of welcome. He also used them to touch the down and the outs, the last, the least and the lost of his time as acceptance into his kingdom. They are the same hands he used to bring healing to the world around him. Despite all this the world still pierced those hands. The other place he was pierced was his feet. The very feet he used for spreading the Good News of the Kingdom, as the Bible says how beautiful are the feet of those who bring the good news... This did not stop them to nail these feet onto the cross. As if this was not enough they also chose to drive a spear into his side where water and blood came out. This could indicate that his heart was also pierced. Now the heart could signify the love he poured out to the world. It is also the source of life, the life which he came to give to the world. Nevertheless they pierced it.
