Christ Jesus literally connected Himself to the situation

We’ve already seen that Christ did not need to touch to heal. He did not even need to be present. He seemed to touch because it came natural to Him. I’m anxious to share with you what touched means in today’s context. The word is haptomai, from the word hapto, meaning “to connect, bind.” Haptomai means “to apply oneself to, to touch.” The word “refers to such handling of an object as to exert a modifying influence upon it.” Christ Jesus literally connected Himself to the situation. We apply all sorts of medication for hurts. Christ took one look at this woman’s grief and applied Himself.
