Matthew 8:15 So He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose and served them.
Matthew 9:29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.”
Mathew 17: 6-7 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid. But Jesus came and touched them and said, “Arise, and do not be afraid.”
Luke 7:14 Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.”
Luke 6:19 And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all.
Jesus could just say the word and power from heaven would go forth but generally He would touch to heal. When He was here in human form His hand was the pathway for His love and energy. Crowds would throng and close around Him seeking to touch Him...even to brush His clothing. He still is the one who touches us to heal. But beyond touching, He comes to stay when He comes into our lives. Sometimes we wish we could have lived then, when we could have received His touch...but, in many ways we have it better now...Rather than being touched, we are held!
Philippians 3: 12 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.
