Embracing Our Brokenness

[Snowrose]

Hi dear friends,

I was doing some searching on the site Bible Gateway and came across this commentary for Matthew 9 titled: “Embracing Our Brokenness”. It is just part of it but I was so excited, I had to share it.

"When Jesus allows an impure woman to touch him and touches the hand of a corpse, he contracts ritual impurity under the law (Lev 15:19-33; Num 19:11-12). Of course we might argue that Jesus contracted no uncleanness in actuality; as in the case of his contact with sinners, the influence went from him to them rather than the reverse (Mt 9:11-13). Yet in the eyes of those present, he has assumed the status of uncleanness (see the fuller account in Mk 5:33, where Jesus even invites public attestation of the touch). He is willing to touch us in our brokenness that we might be made whole."

He was willing to touch us in our brokenness - now how wonderful is that! I am humble as well as filled with joy of how much Jesus loves us. I hope this will bring joy to your heart as well. God bless.

Best wishes,
Snowrose

Yes it is so wonderful that in my broken mess while others may run away shrieking Jesus is reaching out touching me on the the shoulder giving me a big hug letting me know that He does love me and you and everyone.

Brokenness

If you have never heard/read the words to ... the song "Pieces", you ought to try to find it, it goes along with your post.

__
Part of the song, best of my recollection :
_
Pieces, Broken pieces,
I've got all the pieces of your life.
...
I'll put them back together and there'll never be another one who can.

Bestwishes,
