I Can't Get No Satisfaction - Willard Tate

Like those with infectious skin diseases under the old law we still avoid touching the spiritually unclean, but not Jesus. Jesus touched those that were unclean both physically and spiritually. He healed them. If we refuse to also touch and heal, through Jesus, those that are spiritually unclean it could lead to the worst sin of all - self-righteousness. God is the God of the untouchables; He will not pass you by. Mark 9, Leviticus 13 

Touching the Untouchable - Willard Tate

Like well used rag dolls we are all ragged and flawed by our environment and choices, but God loves us ragged and flawed. Christ reconstructs us through the cross and we are loved enough to be made like brand new. 1. Love is for that which it loves; 2. Love delights in the one being loved; 3. Love gives to the one thats loved. Romans 5, Isaiah 64:9, Matthew 22:4, Luke 7:34
