Topic: Touched By Love
Mark 1:41, “And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him…. and he was cleansed.”
Text: Matthew 8:1-4, Mark 1:40-45, Luke 5:12-15
Only Mark notes that Jesus was “moved with compassion” in healing this leper. There were three other instances in the gospels when Jesus was moved with compassion, which resulted in healing (Mt. 14:14; 20:34; Lk. 7:13; and once in deliverance—Mk.5:19). The difference between seeing a person healed or not healed many times is this all-important ingredient of love.
All three Gospel accounts record Jesus touching this leper. This illustrates the doctrine of “laying on of hands” and was probably included because, according to Numbers 19:22, this action would have made Jesus unclean. It also illustrates the New Testament ministry of the Spirit versus the Old Testament ministry of the letter of the law (2 Cor. 3:6).
Jesus did not have to avoid the ceremonial uncleanness that would come from physical contact with a leper because He came to bear our sins in His own body. As can be seen from Mark’s account, two things happened: (1) the leprosy departed, and (2) the man was cleansed. Jesus removed the disease and restored the damaged parts of his body. This leper was healed as soon as Jesus spoke.
The Word of God is God’s will, and it reveals that it is always God’s will to heal. Jesus often healed people by touching them; others received their healing as they touched Jesus. You can transmit God’s power or anointing through the laying on of hands. Let Him use you today to touch others.
