The Healer without Latex Gloves - by Dr. Ralph Martin

Religious people can be so quick to judge. Maybe because they so badly need to affirm their fragile righteousness, I don't now. What I do know is that Jesus wasn't like that.

When I watch hurting, sinful people come to Jesus, I am amazed to see the gentleness with which he treats them.

There was a leaper, a social out cast, doomed to die of a progressive, disfiguring illness, who cam to Jesus and said, "If you want to, you can heal me." Jesus, the Bible records touched the flesh of the diseased man and said, "I want to. Be whole." And he was Mary Magdalene, from what we can discover, was a wealthy heiress who was tormented. The demons of her past and present completely controlled her. Jesus set her free, and gradually, as she spent time listening to his teaching and following him, she was healed from the inside out. And Mary was the first to see Jesus after his resurrection.

Blind people came to him and went away seeing. Friends and relatives carried cripples to Him. He never turned them away or rejected them. Instead, in his presence they were healed. Rich robed leaders seeking to fill and inner emptiness cam to talk with Jesus. So did ragged beggars

One lady was dragged to Jesus. You know the story. Earlier that morning she had been surprised in the arms of her lover, and hauled in front of Jesus while he was teaching in the temple. "Should we stone her for adultey?" the Pharisees sneered, hoping to expose Jesus' legendary mercy. "Let the one among you who is without sin cast the first stone," Jesus replied. And when they had all slunk away, one by one, Jesus knelt down to where the woman was crouching. "Where are your accusers?" he asked. "Gone," she said. "Then I don't pronounce sentence upon you either, " he said.

As she got up to leave, he gives a final healing word. "Go," he said, "and sin no more."

What a gentle love! Without compromising right standards of living. Jesus had communicated an incredible amount about how much God loves us, aches for us, longs for us, and gently calls us to paths of wholeness and wholesomeness. No self-righteousness here, not even from the only One who has any right to the term "self-righteous." Just compassion
