Mark 1:40-45

This is one of my favorite stories in the Bible. I love how Jesus reaches out and touches the leper - the untouchable - before He says a word. What would happen if we actually touched people who are considered "unclean?" What would happen if we shook a hand, gave a hug, or even offered a kiss on the cheeks or forehead of someone who craved human touch? It would solve a whole lot of problems if people could feel genuine touch.
