A Touch Of The Master's Hand

A TOUCH OF THE MASTER'S HAND
Mark 1:
41  And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.
 42  And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

   From one Max Lucado book I learnt this. The touch never healed the leprosy, and it's true. Verse 42 makes that clear. But Jesus was not one to waste gestures.
   Here was a man whom no one had touched in years on account of leprosy. Although Jesus' words healed him, he took the time to touch him first. Do you see it yet? The touch healed the hurt inside. The hurt of rejection, of being unwanted and unloved.
   We all knew Jesus would clear the leprosy... sharp. But He wants us to know, He'll take time to go deeper. To heal us from the inside out.
   Touch me with Your hands... Maybe now you realize that song is deeper than we thought.
