Luke 5:13
"And he put forth his hand,
and touched him, saying,
I will: be thou clean"
The leper was hated by others until he came to hate himself. That is the kind of man who came to Jesus; he was unclean and Jesus touched him. Jesus touched the untouchable. His hand went out to a man that everyone else had shrunk away from. Within this one miracle we find, that when we despise ourselves, when our hearts are filled with bitter shame, let us remember, that in spite of all, Christ hand is still stretched out.
Blessed are those who heal us of our self-depising. That is what Jesus did and still does today. It is of the essence of Christianity to touch the untouchable, to love the unlovable, to forgive the unforgivable. That is what Jesus did and so must we.
Amen!!
