BOA #76 - Touching Jesus! - a podcast by Dr. Stan Ott

Years ago, Harry Fifield, the then pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta, told the New Testament story of the woman, who after suffering for many years, approached Jesus through a crowd. Upon touching his cloak, immediately she was healed.

Jesus asked, “Who touched me?” She fell at his feet and Jesus, speaking through her anxiety, told her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.” Mark 5:34*

Harry let that sink in and then asked a question that changed my life and continues to speak to my heart, “Are you crowding Jesus or touching him?”

Are you one among the crowd, consumed by busyness, merely chatting with your friends, or are you touching Jesus – connecting to the life-changing Jesus by means of your trust in and following of Jesus?

This is a key questions that will help you remain centered on the Lord who loves you.
