He Touched Me

I love to play Bill Gaither's song He Touched Me on the piano because that touch transformed my life.

Mark 1:40,41 . . . "If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean." And Jesus moved with compassion, put forth his hand and touched him, and saith unto him, "I will; be thou clean."

Can you hear the crowd gasp as they see Jesus touch the leper. Isolated and alone, how long had it been since anyone touched this man, since he had held his wife or children.

To touch a leper made one unclean and was strictly forbidden by the Law. Touching a leper could transmit the disease. But Jesus touched him, and he was healed.

Jesus is still touching lives today. No matter who you are or what you've done, if you let Him, His touch can heal the plague of sin gripping your life. Ask Him to come into your heart. He will make you a new creature, and you will never be the same.
