Walking With Jesus (Intimacy) Sample

Walking With Jesus (Intimacy)

DAY 4 OF 7

Touching Jesus

Mark 5:25-34

Wherever Jesus went, crowds of people followed Him and crowded near Him. Amid the crowd, a woman approached Jesus from behind and touched His robe (v. 27). Jesus asked: “Who touched my clothes?” (v. 30). His disciples answered: “You see the people crowding against you, and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?” (v. 31).

Jesus is indeed someone who attracts the attention of the world. Throughout the ages, people crowded near Him. Philosophers seek to explain His teachings, artists make statues or paintings of Him, and psychologists explain His greatness. Many people crowded near Him, but no one touched Him. They only thought of Jesus as the giver of inspiration and not the Savior or someone who brings salvation.

Every Sunday, for centuries, millions of people, including all of us, have crowded around Jesus around the world. All of us come with different desires and motivations. The sick hope to get healing. The poor want to be enriched. Those who are in trouble long to get rid of their problem. The question is, how many of them long to touch Him and have a personal relationship with Him? Life will be different if we want to have a relationship with Him.

Don't worship Jesus without touching Him! Invite Him to be fully present in your life. Give Him a place, especially in your home. Let us include Him in all the movements and rhythms of our lives. He understands us better. Be someone who resembles Him through the correct knowledge of Him.

Reflection:

1.Is our spiritual life just like many other people crowding around Jesus?

2.What can you do to touch Jesus?

Practice: Intimacy doesn't happen instantly. Have an intensive relationship with the Lord Jesus.
