THE TOUCH OF THE MASTER’S HAND – PART 3

Scripture:   Revelation 1:17-18 “And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead.  And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.”

    In the text verse we see that He touched John on the Isle of Patmos. John was exiled here for the Word of God and His faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.  John at this time has not seen Jesus in around 60 years, but he hears a voice and turns to see the voice and sees
Jesus!  What a thrill must have John must have felt that day as He looks upon the glorified Christ!  He saw Him! He heard His voice! Then as John fell down before the Savior, he felt the touch of his precious Lord.  Jesus laid His right hand on him.  I know that He did, but you’ll never read another verse in Revelation where we are told that He removed His hand from him.  It was His right hand, that symbol of power that He laid upon him. John had fallen down at His feet as dead, and Jesus touched him and gave him power!
    What a blessing to know that our Lord can still touch lives today and grant power to go on another mile, to rise up under the burden we carry and win the victory in our lives over the devil.  What power is available in the touch of the Master’s hand!  “But the Master comes, and the foolish crowd never can quite understand, the worth of a soul and the change that is wrought by the Touch of the Masters' Hand.”
     Oh, what He can do in our lives if we would but yield them to the Lord and allow Him to touch us with that life changing touch that
can make us what we ought to be!  Has He touched you today?  Has He changed your life today?  If not, why not let Him do just that right now?
