Embodying Christ's Touch: Living as His Hands and Feet in the World

Join Pastor Joe Meyer for an enlightening session on how we, as followers of Christ, are called to be His hands and feet in the world. Drawing from Max Lucado's inspiring book 'Just Like Jesus,' this study delves into the profound concept of touching lives both spiritually and physically, as Christ did. As Christians, we are reminded that we embody the presence of Jesus on Earth, tasked with reaching out to touch and heal, to comfort and support, just as He did.
In this session, Pastor Meyer explores the critical role of touch in ministry and discipleship, highlighting how Jesus's actions of touching those around Him-lepers, children, and the sick-demonstrate the deep love and compassion we are to show in our interactions. Through touching lives, we offer the tangible love of God, breaking barriers and reaching hearts in a society often wary of physical connection.
Key Points of the Session:
The Power of Touch: Understanding the significance of physical touch in conveying God's love and presence to those around us.
Jesus as Our Model: Reflecting on instances from the Gospels where Jesus touched individuals, transforming their lives, and what this means for us today.
Overcoming Societal Hesitations: Navigating the challenges of expressing care and compassion through touch in a world cautious of physical contact.
Practical Ways to Be Jesus's Hands and Feet: Insights into how we can live out our calling to touch lives, following the example set by Christ.
