Tuesday of week 4 in Ordinary Time
Gospel – Mark 5:21-43
“Who touched me?” This is a question which Jesus asks and turns around and looking for the person. Jesus is God and He is not a power producing machine or just a miracle working machine. He wants to have a personal relationship with the person who touched Him with faith. He wants to know that person. He is not ready to listen to the disciples. So, his question goes from “my clothes” to “me”. Jesus turned round in the crowd and said, ‘Who touched my clothes?’ His disciples said to him, ‘You see how the crowd is pressing round you and yet you say, “Who touched me?”’ With all the crowd around Him, He is not giving up in His search. But he continued to look all round to see who had done it. This is Jesus. He continues to look all round, all around to see who touched Him. He never gives up. He continues to look around. Let’s reflect: Jesus continues to look around to find out who touched Him, and so, let’s touch Him.
