Let’s face it: As Christians, we’re kind of afraid to touch.  Touch feels unsafe and sexual --even worldly-- and we can be led to believe that the more boundaries we put in place, the "better off" we'll all be.  Except, well … Jesus touched.  And He allowed others to touch Him: A prostitute washed His feet and dried it with her hair. He used His hands to rub mud on blind eyes. He invited Thomas to place his fingers in the nail holes in His palms. Is it time to re-think the way we view touch?
