Jesus Hands Were Healing Hands

• Matthew 81 When Jesus came down from the
  mountainside, large crowds followed him. 2 A man
  with leprosy came and knelt before him and said,
  Lord, if you are willing, you can make me
  clean. 3 Jesus reached out his hand and touched
  the man. I am willing, he said. Be clean!
  Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy.

24
Jesus Hands Were Healing Hands

• Jesus touched the un-touchable
• Our Ministry of Presence should be a ministry
  of touch
• Matthew 912 On hearing this, Jesus said, It is
  not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
  13 But go and learn what this means I desire
  mercy, not sacrifice. For I have not come to
  call the righteous, but sinners.

25
Jesus Hands Were Healing Hands

• Luke 440 At sunset, the people brought to Jesus
  all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying
  his hands on each one, he healed them.
• Acts 818 When Simon saw that the Spirit was
  given at the laying on of the apostles hands, he
  offered them money
• 1 Timothy 522 Do not be hasty in the laying on
  of hands, and do not share in the sins of others.
  Keep yourself pure.

Jesus Hands Were Nail-Scarred

• 1 Peter 224 He himself bore our sins in his
  body on the cross, so that we might die to sins
  and live for righteousness by his wounds you
  have been healed.
• Romans 57 Very rarely will anyone die for a
  righteous person, though for a good person
  someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God
  demonstrates his own love for us in this While
  we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

28
Jesus Hands Were Inviting Hands

• Matthew 1128 Come to me, all you who are weary
  and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take
  my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am
  gentle and humble in heart, and you will find
  rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and
  my burden is light.
• Luke 1423 Then the master told his servant, Go
  out to the roads and country lanes and compel
  them to come in, so that my house will be full.

It so often starts with a touch

• Today I hope that Jesus touched your heart and in
  so doing you will be changed
• What needs to change in your life

and take a hold
