The Touch of Faith

Listen to the Audio

In the Old Testament when a person touched someone or something that was unclean they also became unclean. But, in the New Testament the tables have turned. Now, Jesus touches a leper and instead of Jesus becoming unclean, the leper is healed and made clean. The touch of faith has the power to cleanse. People often asked Jesus in the gospels if he was willing to heal and/or cleanse them, and his answer every time was... I am willing. When we reach out to Jesus by faith he is always willing to make us clean. 

Here are some scriptures to meditate on today...

Matthew 14:36 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.

Matthew 17:7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.

Matthew 20:34 So Jesus had compassion [on them], and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

Mark 1:41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth [his] hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.

As we take communion today let it be a time to mediate on his steadfast unfailing love and his mighty works. That he is willing and able to make us clean when we we come to him in faith. 

I am praying for you. 

Daniel
