The Healing Power of Touch
Matthew 9:18-26
Plattsmouth and Mynard Liberty UMCs

​When I was a Chaplain at Bryan Hospital in Lincoln several years ago, I was assigned to the cancer ward, psychiatric ward, and surgery floor to provide spiritual care to the patients.
​One of my patients was diagnosed with vaginal cancer and was not expected to live. I ministered to her daily, and provided pastoral care and support to her husband, Reuben. Reuben was a big, strong Mennonite farmer from Henderson, Nebraska. He held his emotions in and was distant.
​It was obvious he was struggling with his wife’s condition, but he couldn’t talk about it. One day I found him looking out a picture window, down to the streets of Lincoln. I approached him and lightly touched his shoulder—one way we ministers ask permission to touch another person.
​Reuben shrugged me off. I removed my hand. This scene was repeated over the next few days. One day Reuben, instead of pushing me away he pulled me in close for a big hug. Tears streamed down his face.
He said, “Chaplain Wigert, each day I come to this spot and watch the people below drive down the street or walk down the sidewalk. I think about how good they have it.
“I am in here with a dying wife. It doesn’t seem fair.” Then Reuben turned to me, gave me another big hug, and stated, “You have helped me to see everyone out there has their own problems. Perhaps, some are even worse than mine.
“Through your caring and compassionate presence, and your ability to get me to accept a loving touch, I have come to realize just how much a touch provides healing. You are God’s presence to me. Thank you.”
As Matthew’s story begins this morning, Jesus, the great physician, is on his way to make an emergency house call. There was a little girl who was in a grave state and her father implored Jesus to come.
We are told that a large crowd of the curious followed Jesus to see how Jesus might heal this girl. Some were hoping Jesus would succeed, others that he would fail; most probably got caught up in the excitement of the parade.
In this crowd was one woman who was there for quite a different reason. We are told that for twelve years she had been suffering from a bleeding hemorrhage.
Some modern scholars have theorized that this was a bleeding cancer. If this were the case she was, of course, beyond all medical help. Mark tells us that she had already been to all the doctors, and she had only gotten worse, and beside that they had taken all her money.
Interestingly, Luke, who was a physician, tells this story as well, but he could not bring himself to tell that side of story.
Call it professional pride but he is not about to say that she was taken for all her money by a long string of doctors.
How could she get the attention of Jesus? Her problem was of a very personal nature, and she did not want to discuss the issue publicly.
According to Levitic Law, a woman who was bleeding was considered unclean and under law could touch no one. There were many ancient taboos. She did not want to have to go through the disciples to see Jesus.
She thus devised a plan. Having heard the stories of Jesus' power, she declared: “If I but touch the hem of his garment I will be healed." We smile at that and say: How innocent, how naive.
She reached out from the crowd and touched the garment of Jesus. Immediately he stopped, bolted upright, and asked: "Who touched me?" The disciples were taken aback. Was this some kind of rhetorical question?
Who touched you? Why master, look around, everyone is touching you. The New English version quotes their words as being: "What is the purpose in asking?"
Jesus replied with one of the most mysterious lines in the Bible. Jesus said: "I felt power flow from me."
What exactly happened in that moment? Did the lady drain his battery? It sounds as though Jesus is almost describing a power surge. "I felt power flow from me." Whatever happened the important matter of course is that amid the crowd, Christ felt the touch of a single person.
Don't ever say that in the enormity of the cosmos God cannot care about my concerns and me. Not only does God care, but God also actually solicits our concerns: "Come unto me all ye who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you peace."
Daughter, said Jesus (and I might add parenthetically at this point that that is the only recorded time in scripture that Jesus used that term), your faith has made you well. And, we are told, she was immediately healed. The desperation of her faith thus became the channel that led to her healing.
The story is saying there are two kinds of touch, the first being physical touch. So often when Jesus wanted to transmit His power of love, Jesus physically touched people--the man born blind.
An embrace, a kiss, an arm on the shoulder, a pat on the back--all of these are ways of expressing a love which goes beyond words.
It is sad that we are so paranoid on this subject in America today. We have grown touchy about touching. In other parts of the world, they do not seem to have this hang-up.
To me, the guideline that we can use for appropriate touch is from the 3rd chapter of Ecclesiastes.
You recall the familiar verses that read: “There is a time to live and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which has been planted, a time for peace and a time for war, a time to touch and a time to refrain from touching.” A sage person will appreciate the difference.
I lament the politically correct world that we have created where no one is allowed to touch in a professional setting. Touch communicates far more than words are able. A physical touch will often draw your nearer to a person. The hymn states, “Draw me nearer precious Lord.” Touch does that!
If you are unwilling to touch your wife, your husband, your children, your father, your mother, your friend, then it is hard to love them. In ministry if you are not willing to touch a sick person, a homeless person, an alcoholic, a terribly dirty person, then you are unwilling to minister to them.
The Menninger Institute in Topeka, Kansas once had a fascinating experiment. They identified a group of crib babies who did not cry. Let me explain.
It seems that babies cry because they instinctively know that is the way to get attention. Crying is their way of calling out. These babies, however, had been in abusive situations.
Their parents let them cry for hours on end and never responded. Do you know what happened? The babies eventually quit crying. It was almost as though they knew that it was not worth trying.
So, the Menninger Institute came in for an experiment. They got some people from retirement and even nursing homes, and every day these people held these babies and rocked them. The object was to get these children to start crying again. And you know, it worked. Physical touch had made the difference.
​Another study I have shared with students throughout my years of teaching involves physical touch. Researchers noticed that children in an orphanage were five to eight inches shorter in height and stature than other children their age who were raised in loving homes. Someone came up with the observation that the orphans lacked daily physical touch.
​Thus, they asked the staff to touch half of the children several times a day, and to continue to not touch the other half of the children, as had been the longtime practice. Touching included a daily backrub, as well as stroking the head, back and shoulders at various times in the day.
​The results? After one year, the orphans who were purposely not touched by staff, remained five to seven inches shorter than children of the home raised population.
The orphans who were purposely touched as directed, after one year, caught up in height to the home raised children.
​Hospital patients who receive a daily backrub or shoulder rub ask for fewer pain killers and get out of the hospital a day sooner than those who do not. Appropriate physical touch makes a difference in our health!
As important as physical touch is, there is yet another kind of touch. It is even more important. It is spiritual touch. Spiritual touch is a special touch that influences and impacts the lives of people. The telephone company some years ago had a slogan that you may recall:
"Reach out and touch someone." They were, of course, referring to a meaningful relationship. Being connected to others and having sufficient social support is the number one variable in life satisfaction, and in physical, mental, emotional, psychological and spiritual well-being.
Pain and suffering come to all of us. As a community of faith, we can be supported in those difficult times by the touch of one another's lives. That touch can be physical or spiritual, but a spiritual touch is the best!
We experience more healing with the knowledge that we have someone; that we are not alone. We are strengthened knowing that there is someone willing to touch us, hold us, keeps us from being destroyed. We need to know that the roots of other people’s lives are intertwined with ours.
Just think of the practices in the church where there is physical touch: baptism, confirmation, a wedding, a healing service, communion, ordination.
​Jesus utilized physical touch many times for the purpose of healing. The spiritual touch of Jesus provides compassion, assurance, and salvation.
When we are out of touch with people, then perhaps we are also out of touch with God.
I believe that as the faith community and family of God we are called upon to reach out and touch the lives of the least, the last, the lost, and the lonely, as well as those closest to us.
Why do I feel that way?
Because Jesus touched me. As our closing hymn today states, “He touched me, oh He touched me. And, oh the joy that floods my soul. Something happened within me, He touched me, and He made me whole!”
Let Jesus and others touch and you will be healed. AMEN.

The Trinity
Matthew 28:16-20
Plattsmouth and Mynard Liberty UMCs

A ridiculous story made the rounds years ago. Most of you have heard the story, but I wonder if you have caught its religious significance.
It is about a pilot and three passengers--a boy scout, a priest, and an atomic scientist--and a plane that develops engine trouble in mid-flight.
The pilot rushes back to the passenger compartment and exclaims, “The plane is going down! The plane is going down! We only have three parachutes, and there are four of us!” ​
Then the pilot adds, “I have a family waiting for me at home. I must survive!” With that, the pilot grabs one of the parachutes and jumps out of the plane.
At this point, the atomic scientist jumps to his feet and declares, “I am the smartest man in the world. It would be a great tragedy if my life was snuffed out!” With that, he also grabs a parachute and exits the plane.​
With an alarmed look on his face, the priest says to the Boy Scout, “My son, I have no family. I am ready to meet my Maker. You are still young with much ahead of you. You take the last parachute.”
With this, the Boy Scout interrupts the priest, “Relax, Father. Don’t say any more. We’re all right.”
The priest asks, “How in the world can you say that we are all right?”
The Boy Scout replies, “The reason we’re all right is that the world’s smartest man just jumped out of the plane wearing my knapsack!”
Silly joke, but there is an important lesson to be derived from it. Metaphorically, there are many smart people today, successful people, affluent people who are jumping out of airplanes wearing knapsacks instead of parachutes.
That is, they are reaching for ideas and philosophies that are very appealing, but those ideas and philosophies will not save them. Those ideas are knapsacks, NOT parachutes. In other words, people today need something they can believe in, and many are looking in the wrong places.
Today is Trinity Sunday. This is a day that has been celebrated in the Christian church since the 10th century. It is on this occasion that pastors and preachers around the world address the subject of the triune God. The doctrine of the Trinity is NOT a philosophy. It is a TRUTH! A REALITY!
The Trinity explains in a very elemental way what God has revealed to us about the Divine Nature of God. We Christians affirm the Trinity, not as an explanation of God, but simply as a way of describing what we know about God. To describe the tip of the iceberg above the water is not to describe the entire iceberg. To describe the Divine God as only Father is incomplete.
The idea of the Trinity is not emphatically or empirically stated as a doctrine in the scriptures. Yet, by implication, it is stated many times. The early Christians soon discovered that they simply could not speak of God without speaking of the three ways in which he had revealed Godself to them. This does not mean that there are three Gods. One God, three essences!
It means that there is one God who has shown himself in three ways: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Let’s look at these this morning:
First, we affirm God the Father. Ninety-six percent of all Americans, believe in the existence of a God in some form or another. The real question is what kind of a God?
According to Thomas Jefferson, for example, God was like a big cosmic watchmaker. God created the universe and wound it up and let it go. The world is now in the process of simply letting itself run down. Jefferson believed God has completely detached himself from his creation.
Others, like the philosopher Nietche, say that there indeed once was a God, but that God is now dead. They say that the God of the universe so completely poured himself into the person of Jesus Christ that when Jesus died on the cross, God died, too.
These views are foreign to Christianity. We affirm that the same God who molded the universe also cares about what happens in our life.
Indeed, God is actively and mysteriously involved in helping to shape the events of your life.
When we refer to the first person of the Trinity as Father it says something about what God is like. In fact, Jesus referred to God not only as Father but as Abba, which is the Hebrew word meaning Daddy.
Can you imagine referring to the creator of an endless universe, the creator of countless solar systems as Daddy?
It is easy to think of God as the omnipotent, holy Other, righteous, all-powerful, Creator, judge. If our Christian understanding of the nature of God is to be correct, then we must also learn to think of God as our kind, sympathetic, understanding, compassionate, gentle, and loving Father, or our Abba, Daddy.
The Bible also refers to God a mother hen gathering her chicks, as a Shepherd gathering the flock, as an Eagle protecting her young.
To be sure there are stern images of God in the Old and New Testaments, even in the Gospels themselves. But the love of God is the major emphasis, which runs throughout the Bible. The message of persistent love heals the broken heart and challenges the disobedient heart.
God bestows love despite what we have done; a love given that was not earned; a love that came despite our resistance.
God’s love that healed when sickness pervades our soul; a love that to this day recovers, restores, and heals.
The prophet Jeremiah caught the true message of our religion when he heard God say to him, “I have loved you with an everlasting love.”
One final word on this subject. It is a misconception among some Christians and scholars who say that when Christ came to earth God somehow changed. Where God had been stern and judgmental, they say, God now became loving and compassionate. This is a misinterpretation.
The fact is that God is unchanging. God’s divine purpose has always been one of redemption and love. There was nothing wrong with the law that God gave to Moses and the Jews.
Making the law more important than the Gospel is problematic. The very reason of creation itself is that God is a God of overflowing love. The result of that love is life itself.
Secondly, we affirm a belief in God’s Son, Jesus Christ. God took on human form. God became incarnate in the flesh and lived among us.
Jesus Christ suffered the same trials that we suffer, experienced the same feelings that we experience. Jesus was fully human and fully divine. Jesus was God incarnate. However, Jesus never drew attention to himself. Jesus always pointed to God and praised God to the highest heaven.
Jesus is quoted in Mark 10 as asking, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone!” It was the human Jesus questioning the divine.
Soren Kierkegaard, the great Danish philosopher and theologian told a story of a prince who wanted to find a maiden suitable to be his queen. One day while running an errand in the local village for his father, the prince passed through a poor section of the village.
As he glanced out the windows of the carriage his eyes fell upon a beautiful peasant maiden. During the ensuing days he often passed by the young lady and soon fell in love. But he had a problem. How would he seek her hand?
He could order her to marry him. But even a prince wants his bride to marry him freely and voluntarily and not through coercion. He could put on his most splendid uniform and arrive at her door in a carriage.
The carriage would be drawn by six white horses. If the prince did this, he would never be certain that the maiden loved him or was simply overwhelmed by the splendor. The prince came up with another solution.
The prince would give up his robes, move into the village, entering not with a crown but in peasant garb. He would live among the people, share their interests and concerns, and talk their language. He would live just as the beautiful maiden lived. The prince carried out his plan.
In time the maiden grew to love him for who he was and loved him because the prince had first loved her.
This very simple, almost childlike story, written by one of the most brilliant minds of our time explains what we Christians mean by the incarnation. GOD CAME DOWN AND LIVED AMONG US.
We should be glad that this happened for two reasons: One, it shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that God is with us, that God is on our side, and that God loves us.
Secondly, it gives us a firsthand view of what the mind of God is really like. When people ask what God is like, we as Christians point to the person of Jesus Christ. God is incomprehensible. But in Jesus Christ this incomprehensible God makes Gods self knowable.
We get a glimpse of God’s glory. In the person of Jesus, we are told that God—the mysterious Other—who created the stars and the universe, is willing to go all the way, even to a cross, so that every single person may be redeemed. That’s what God is like. That’s the God we believe in when we say we believe in Jesus Christ, who is God Incarnate, God in the flesh.
Finally, we affirm a belief in the Holy Spirit. What is the Holy Spirit? In the Korean Creed we say, “We believe in the Holy Spirit, God present with us for guidance, for comfort and for strength.”
The Modern Affirmation words it: “We believe in the Holy Spirit, the divine presence in our lives, whereby we are kept in perpetual remembrance of the truth of Christ and find strength and help in time of need.”
Put it another way. The Holy Spirit is the infinite become intimate. It is the Beyond that is Within. It is the realization of the presence of the Living God. The Holy Spirit is God’s Spirit poured out on all people at Pentecost.
I would simply like to close with this thought on the Trinity.
It perhaps might help us to understand the Doctrine of the Trinity better if we word it this way: God the Father who is for us, God the Son who is with us, and God the Holy Spirit who is within us.
Someone once asked Mrs. Albert Einstein if she understood her husband’s theory of relativity. “No,”, she said, “but I know my husband.”
We cannot begin to fathom the incomprehensible mysteries of God, but that does not mean that we cannot know God. NO!
God made God’s Self known in God’s only Son, Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, God Incarnate. God continues to come to us via the Holy Spirit. That is the essence of the Doctrine of the Trinity.
Thus, through the teachings and witness of Jesus, and the outpouring of God’s Spirit—the Holy Spirit—we can know God intimately and personally.
Amen.

Don't Forget the Batteries
Acts 2:1-13
Plattsmouth and Mynard Liberty UMC’s

A man at an airport was worried about missing his plane. He had no wristwatch, and he couldn't locate a clock, so he hurried up to a stranger and said, "Excuse me, could you tell me the time, please?"
The stranger smiled and said, "Sure." He set down the two large suitcases he was carrying and looked at his wristwatch. "It is 6:08, the temperature is 75. The barometric pressure is 30.19 and falling. Rain is predicted.
In Madrid, the sky is clear. The temperature is 40 degrees Celsius. In Istanbul, the weather is sultry and the moon full."
Your watch tells you all that?" the man interrupted." Oh, yes . . . and much more," said the stranger. "You see, I invented this watch, and there is no other timepiece like it in the world!"
"I want to buy that watch!" said the man. "I'll pay you $2,000 for it right now!"
"No, it's not for sale," said the stranger as he picked up his suitcases.
"Wait! $4,000. I'll pay you $4,000 cash," offered the man, reaching for his wallet. "No, I can't," said the stranger.
"You see, it has great sentimental value for me."
"O.K. listen," said the man. "I'll give you $10,000. I've got the money right here."
The stranger paused. "$10,000? Well, O.K. It's yours for $10,000." The man was absolutely elated. He paid the stranger, took the watch, and snapped it on his wrist with glee, and said, "Thanks," as he turned to leave.
"Wait," said the stranger. With a big smile, he handed the two heavy suitcases to the man and added, "Don't forget the batteries."
Silly story, but this is the continual temptation that haunts us as the church, is it not? That we will forget the batteries--that we will forget the source of our power—the Holy Spirit. That we will leave behind what is essential to the life of the community of faith.
On February 2, 1985, the Daytona 500 Auto Race had just started when, on the beginning of the third lap, the $250,000 machine, driven by professional driver Donny Allison, rolled to a stop on the infield side of the track. When it was checked, it was found that no one had filled it with gas.
How embarrassing. One of the top drivers in auto racing stalled because he had run out of gas. But that is where many churches are. And that is where many individuals are. Where political leaders are. OUT OF GAS!!
Trying to operate without batteries. Trying to drive on an empty fuel tank. Trying to live meaning Christian lives without the HOLY SPIRIT!!
Ever since Christ's ascension, the disciples and the women and the brothers of Jesus had been devoting themselves to prayer in the upper room. They had been preparing themselves to receive the Holy Spirit that Christ had promised them.
Now it was the day of Pentecost, and they were all together in one place. Suddenly, there came from heaven a noise like a violent, rushing wind, and it filled the whole house. And they saw tongues of fire which seemed to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues.
Now there were Jews living in Jerusalem from every nation on earth. And when this sound occurred, a large multitude of them came together, and they were bewildered because they were each one hearing the disciples speak in his own language. "Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?" they asked.
"How is it that we each hear them in our own language? We hear them in our own tongues speaking of the mighty deeds of God.” Obviously, the church on the day of Pentecost had its fuel tank full. Its batteries were connected, full of the energy of the Holy Spirit.
What can we learn from their experience that will energize us as we celebrate Pentecost today?
Here is the first thing we need to note: THE SOURCE OF THE CHURCH'S POWER IS THE SPIRIT OF GOD. If we are going to have the joy and the energy and the enthusiasm of the early church, we are going to have to pray for God's Spirit—the HOLY SPIRIT— to fall afresh on us.
Anytime we try to substitute any other kind of power for God's power, we are in trouble. It makes no difference what that power may be. It may be political power. The church has often in the past sought to exercise its political power. The church did so to create peace, freedom and justice for all.
Sometimes this has had beneficial results--sometimes not. Our laws regarding the separation of church and state are very fortunate laws. They keep the state from meddling in church affairs, and they help the church resist the temptation of political power. Political power is no substitute for spiritual power. Jesus uses SPIRITUAL POWER to upset political power.
Or we might substitute what might be called celebrity power. Many growing churches nowadays, as a central part of their ministry, bring in celebrities--musicians, athletes, politicians--to share their faith.
Nothing wrong with that--as long as we remember that the Power of Christ is central to the church, NOT celebrity power!!
Celebrities weaknesses do not disappear just because they are in the public spotlight. Any church that builds its faith on the power of personality--even the personality of the pastor--is potentially in trouble. People have a way of letting us down. But that is another form of power in our world today--celebrity power. It’s batteries will wear out, the gas tank will empty!
There is even a danger of what we might call need-centered power. One of the effective ways of growing churches in today's world is to focus on people's needs and to begin groups within the church to meet those needs.
So, in many churches, including Plattsmouth FUMC, you will find all kinds of 12-step groups and recovery groups and support groups, etc. All of these are very good, and they are a vital part of the church's ministry. We are here to meet people's social and emotional and even their physical needs.
As long as we do not lose sight of our central reason for being. To preach about Christ. The church is more than a center for self-help groups.
We need to keep our focus on God, Christ and the Holy Spirit in love.
Maybe you heard about a certain hen that won dozens of awards. She was quite amazing. If you put a red quilt in front of her, she would lay red eggs. If you put a green quilt before her--green eggs. A blue quilt--blue eggs. But one day someone accidentally put a plaid quilt in front of her . . . and the poor bird died trying to deliver the goods!
That can happen to us. We can be so busy trying to be all things to all people that we lose sight of our central reason for being. God’s Spirit!
Nothing in the church can substitute for God's Spirit as the basic source of our power. If we ever become what God means for us to become, it will not be because of our programs--as effective as they may be. It will be because God's Spirit lifts us. Pentecost filled all of God’s people with the Holy Spirit.
If we could ride the winds of God's Spirit, we could accomplish far more than we think possible. That is the first thing we need to learn from Pentecost. The source of our power is God's Spirit. The Holy Spirit poured out to us!
THE SECOND THING WE LEARN FROM THE DAY OF PENTECOST IS THAT WHERE GOD'S SPIRIT IS THERE IS UNITY.
People of differing backgrounds, differing social classes, differing skin colors, differing national origins, all heard the Gospel in their own tongue. Rather than fragmenting into tiny self-serving groups, they were drawn into a cohesive whole. That is what God’s Kingdom is: A cohesive whole!!
One day, we are going to see how silly we have been about all the barriers we have erected between people.
A cartoon once showed two people staring at each other. One was a little man in a loincloth, looking like Mahatma Gandhi. The other was a stalwart man with a full feathered headdress looking like Sitting Bull.
Both are speaking simultaneously, and the caption reads: "Funny, but you don't look Indian."
Silly perhaps--but also thought provoking. How silly are our devices for categorizing people. Separating people into “us” and “them.” We are like the Irishman who said he would rather die than be buried in a Protestant cemetery! What an absurd world we have created.
When Billy Graham held his historic crusade in Montgomery, Alabama, in the sixties, he insisted on an integrated choir. The newspaper editorialized that Graham had come to Alabama and set the church back a hundred years.
Graham's answer was classic: "If that's the case, I failed in my mission," said Graham, "I intended to set it back two thousand years."
Pentecost gave the Holy Spirit to all God’s people. Where the Spirit of God is present, there is unity. When the waters of God rise, the fences disappear. No longer is there male or female, black or white, Jew or gentile. There are only precious souls for whom Christ died. We are one in the Spirit.
A somewhat humorous story came across Associated Press lines sometime back about two groups of firefighters in a small town in Maryland that came to fight a fire and ended up fighting each other. It seems that paid and volunteer firefighters got to the fire at the same time and argued over who should be the first to carry a hose into a burning townhouse.
Eventually, they had to be separated by county police. Fortunately, the fire was put out before too much damage was done. BUT I COULDN'T HELP BUT THINK OF THE CHURCH. Sometimes, rather than fighting the fires of evil in this world, we would rather fight each other.
Not so with the church at Pentecost. They prayed together, ate together, even shared possessions with one another. The Source of the church's power is the Spirit of God—The Holy Spirit. Where the Spirit is, there is Unity.
The greatest danger for the church, the universal church is that we will experience God's electricity but we will forget the batteries! That we will experience God's power but will refuse to share that power with others.
That we will experience God's unity among ourselves but shut out others who are unlike us. That we will have the joy of God's Spirit but not try to bring joy to the world.
Have we forgotten the batteries? Is our gas tank empty? The source of the church's power is God's Spirit. Where the Spirit is, there is unity. And where the Spirit is, there is a concern for reaching out to others.
This is Pentecost Sunday. The day we celebrate when God poured out God’s Spirit on all people—no matter their s*x, gender, identity, race, color, religion, social class or looks—so that we would find unity in God’s love.
Happy Pentecost Sunday. Let the winds blow you in God’s direction!
