THE TOUCH OF THE MASTER’S HAND – PART 2

Scripture: Matthew 9:18, 25 – “While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. But when the people were put forth,
he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.”

  We see the touch of the Master’s hand always yields lasting results. There are many Scriptures that tell the story of His life changing touch! One of these is found in our text verses today! What faith that this ruler had as he came to Jesus, not asking Him to heal her, but to raise her from the dead! When Jesus came in the Bible says that He “took her by the hand, and the maid arose.” Oh, the power in the touch of the Master’s hand.
    The father’s care is seen in that He believed there was still something that could be done for his daughter. He believed that Jesus could work a miracle in her life if only He would come and “lay thy hand upon her.” Oh, how much he cared for his daughter!
    But we also see the compassion that the Savior had. He followed the ruler to his house and went in to where his daughter was and did just what the ruler had believed He would do, He touched her. The healing virtue from our blessed Lord flowed from that touch to that dead body and life returned and she got up. Aren’t you glad that the Master’s Touch can still work in “impossible” situations?  Oh, how our Father loves us and has compassion on us and touches us and lifts us up no matter what the circumstances may be! Our Savior is still able to meet our needs today!
    But the Master comes, and the foolish crowd, never can quite understand the worth of a soul and the change that’s wrought by the touch of the Master’s hand. I’m so glad that the touch of the Master’s hand is still touching and changing lives even today!  Has He touched and changed your life?  If not, why not let Him today?
