The Reachable Jesus

"He remembered us when we were in trouble. His love continues forever." Psalm 136:23

God chose to reveal Himself through a human body.

The tongue that called forth the dead was a human one. The hand that touched the leper had dirt under it's nails. The feet upon which the woman wept were callused and dusty. And His tears . . . oh, don't miss the tears . . . they came from a hart as broken as yours or mine ever has been.

So, people came to Him. My, how they came to Him! They came at night; they touched Him as He walked down the street; they followed Him around the sea; they invited Him into their homes and placed their children at His feet. Why? Because He refused to be a statue in a cathedral or a priest in an elevated pulpit. He chose instead to be a touchable, approachable, reachable Jesus. - "God Came Near"
