1. Whosoever is touched by Jesus is made perfectly whole
(Luke 6:17-19).
-Everyone who touched Jesus was healed completely of all their infirmities.
-The touch of Jesus never failed to give life and health where it was needed.
-As we will see from the Scriptures, there was no disease or infirmity that was too
difficult for the touch of Jesus to cure. From the spiritual perspective, there is no spiritual infirmity that the touch of Jesus is not able to cure. Jesus can cure even the chiefest of sinners of all their sins and the spiritual infirmities that were caused by their sins.
We want to notice this morning just a few of the people that Jesus touched during His earthly ministry:
1. First the touch of Jesus healed a leper (Matthew 8:1-4).
-Leprosy is a type of sin and the condition of the sinner (Miriam, Gehazi).
-Leprosy destroys the flesh and eventually causes death- Likewise so does sin!
-Lepers were unclean, and could not enter the camp- Likewise so are sinners!
-Leprosy is contagious, and touching a leper could be deadly- So Likewise is
sin! One man caught it back in the garden of Eden, and all men from that time forward have been plagued with it. And the more men touch sin and play around with it, the more infected and wretched they become.
-The touch of Jesus healed the leper- Likewise the touch of Jesus heals the
leprosy of sin. As the divine touch of Jesus was the only cure for leprosy back then, so is the divine touch of Jesus the only cure for sin today.
2. Secondly the touch of Jesus healed a woman with the issue of blood (Matthew 9:20-22).
-The doctors could not help her, she was beyond human help (Mark 5:26) 26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
