I love the story about Jesus once walking down a road. Many people were gathered around Him, hoping to see the resurrection of a dead person. It was so crowded that the people pressed upon each other. One woman, who suffered from an issue of blood for years, thought that Jesus would surely be able to heal her since He had performed all kinds of miracles. She did not come to the Lord directly. All that she did was touch the fringe of His garment, and the sickness was immediately healed (Mark 5:25-29).
Jesus felt something, turned around, and asked, “Who touched Me? ” How did the disciples respond? They said, “You see the crowd pressing upon You and You say, Who touched Me? ” (v. 31). He should have asked, “Who pressed Me? ” instead of “Who touched Me? ” If I were Jesus, I would have said in a gentlemanly fashion, “Excuse me. ” But Jesus did not need to say that. When He said that it was a touch, He meant that it was a touch and not a pressing against. The disciples only knew that many thronged around Him. But He knew that someone “touched” Him. He knew what He was doing. There was no need for apology. He knows no sin because He is without sin.
Every time we sing this song in Church or singing it alone, my spirit is always renewed and the desire to be close to Jesus Christ; and I can't get enough of it.
I have always loved this song, it came to my mind after reading Deut 29:29, I sang it and it has blessed me, I am mouning my mum who went to be with her maker a week ago, she loved Jesus with all her heart, I want to walk more closely with him as my mum did.
My Daddy moved to Heaven April 2. My daughter is singing this at his celebration. He sang it all the time and loved it so much. Jesus was his everything! 😭
