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.
Who needs a healing touch in your world today?

Who is Our True Family? | Visual Lectionary Downloads for June 9, 2024
Following Jesus can be difficult.
He often calls us to swim against the current of culture. When society tells us to draw boundaries around ourselves and build up walls between groups, Jesus calls us to tear them down and reach out. That can sometimes make the people closest to us very uncomfortable. You may even be rejected by your biological family.
The Gospel reading this week shows how Jesus found his family group with those who followed his difficult path. Even though the larger culture accused him of being demon possessed, he stayed true to God’s call and gathered those around him who sought the same.
May you find strength and encouragement this week as you seek to follow Jesus, even into difficult places where you might feel all alone. Remember, you are not alone.
