-"We do not have a
high priest who is
unable to empathize
with our weaknesses."
(Hebrews 4:15)

-Jesus knew what it was like to lose His personal space in the commotion of crowds desperate to see and touch Him. A woman who had suffered from constant bleeding from 12 years and could find no cure touched the fringe of His robe. Immediately, her bleeding stopped (LUKE 8:43-44).

Jesus' question, "Who touched me?" (v.45) isn't as strange as it sounds. He felt power come out of Him (v.46). That touch was different from those who merely happened to accidentally touch Him.

While we must admit that we do sometimes wish to keep our personal space and privacy, the only way we help a world of hurting people is to let them get close enough to be touched by the encouragement, comfort, and grace of Christ in us. ~~

-'Lord Jesus, I want to be near You and know You so that when I'm in contact with others they can see You through me. Holy, Holy, I want to see the fullness of Your majesty. Restore Me to Yourself, when I fall. In Jesus Name. Amen'~
