Since becoming a follower of Jesus at age 13 I have recognised that my faith in God is very similar to the close friendships I have with people. Of course there are some differences but there are very many similarities. It is about relationship and that matters a lot to me.
This song ‘by the touch of your hand’ characterises the relationship I have developed with God who is indeed the Lord of Lords, the King of Kings and the Master of the Universe. Yet, as a man, Jesus went to the cross so that all my wrongdoings could be forgiven. He paid the price – what a friend we have in Jesus.
This is an honest and humble reflection that recognises human frailty while attributing to God some of his mighty attributes. Jesus’ touch was special when he was on earth almost 2000 years ago. It is still special today!
