Touch Me

A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.” Jesus was indignant. He reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed.

- Mark 1:40-42, NIV

One touch from Jesus can change your life forever, but are you willing to let Him touch you - A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.” Jesus was indignant. He reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed (Mark 1:40-42, NIV). How magnificent is the Lord’s compassion that He is willing to provide peace to your heart and then healing to your soul…all through one simple touch, one simple acknowledgement of Jesus as Lord and Savior - that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9, NKJV). So will you let Him touch you and be cleansed of your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual infirmities? So many of the world’s issues and problems stem from its people’s allegiance to worldly remedies for unworldly circumstances/situations. Misplaced hope and unfounded faith in systems that are contrary to the will of God have left a longing people dangling…ever seeking and ever wanting for something greater. However, God’s glory has never left His people; as a result, there is always hope for those who place their trust in Jesus Christ…those who are willing to reach out and touch the Lord. How about you? Are you in midst of a fiery trial and in desperate need of a touch? Are you willing to do whatever it takes just to receive one life altering touch? If so, then proclaim to the Lord, “Touch me”…then watch how He provides an on time cleansing that significantly reshapes your life - When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well” (Mark 5:27-28, NKJV).

BE BLESSED!
