Unlike the laws of ritual cleanliness in Leviticus, Jesus Christ’s touch of messy humans like me does not contaminate It cleanses me. In the OT, clean + unclean = unclean. With Jesus, clean + unclean = clean.
Dane Ortlund
41 Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him, “I will; be clean.” (Mark 1:41)
