Who Needs a Healing Touch Today?
The Gospel reading this week tells a touching story. It is both emotional, and a story about Jesus touching two people to bring healing and restoration.
One person was the daughter of the synagogue ruler. She was at the center of the community. She was sick and died before Jesus could reach her.
The other person was a woman whose bleeding disorder had rendered her “unclean” and untouchable for twelve years. She was on the margins.
This story shows us how Jesus did not discriminate. He touched both women and restored them to right relationships to themselves, to community, and to God.
