| Who touched me? March 12, 2010 |
“Who touched me?” (Luke 8:45)
It seems like an absurd question. With so many
people near Jesus, how could anyone know who
touched him? But the Master knew that someone
had touched the edge of his garment and a mighty
miracle had occurred. A woman with a serious
blood disorder had been instantly cured.
According to the law, her touch could make Jesus
unclean. Our Lord Jesus was not ashamed to be
touched by the untouchable, and he was not
embarrassed to be publicly identified with the
outcasts of this world. He was at home with sinners,
he ate supper with gluttons and drunkards, he
welcomed the prostitutes, he touched the lepers,
and he is not ashamed to be touched by an
unclean person. Not ashamed? No, not at all.
Delighted that she had the courage to reach out
and glad that he could heal her. Why is this so
important? Because with our Lord there are no
“untouchable” people.
In Jesus’ eyes, everyone is touchable
