His Hand Reached Down

Matt. 8:3  And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

Jesus put out his hand and reached down to were I lived. Born in sin, we all are wretched and undone. Diseased with sin and separated from a holy God. We are uncleaned and have been isolated to suffer the pains of sin, but Jesus, who is great in love and mercy choose to reach out and touch us. He no longer walks the dusting roads of this earth, but His death paid the ransom for us to be made clean. Like the leper in the Bible, we must be willing to call on Him and believe that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. The leper was rewarded with a touch from Jesus, and was made whole. No matter what sin had done to our lives, Jesus still reaches down and is willing to touch anyone and make them clean. Come to Jesus, He will make you what you ought to be.
