Touching the Divine

Today, as I listened to the talks in sacrament meeting, I had an image in my mind of the Savior appearing to the Nephites at the temple in the land Bountiful. He invited the multitude of about 2,500 people, including men, women, and children, to come forth and thrust their hands into His side and feel the prints of the nails in His hands and His feet. I thought how, if I had had such a chance, I would have been reluctant to let go of His hands and His feet. They touched the Lord God of Israel, the Creator of heaven and earth, the Savior of the world, the vey Son of God. Then later, after He healed their sick, they came forward and kissed His feet. They bathed His feet with their tears. What a powerful testimony. They touched the Living God!

Then there was the “sinful woman” in Luke who bathed His feet with her tears and dried His feet with her hair. The Lord forgave her of her sins!

I don’t know how I would have found the strength to let go. I suppose, however, that after touching the Divine, we do have to let others do the same. And then, after that marvelous experience has ended, we still have to live by faith. Because storms will come. So will trials and griefs and challenges to our faith.

I think how others touched Him as well: Judas, who kissed His cheek. The men of the Sanhedrin who smote Him on the face when He was questioned before the high priest. The soldiers who mocked Him, who whipped Him, who put a crown of thorns on Head. The soldiers who crucified Him. They touched the Son of God. How many of them were converted by touching the Divine? I don’t know. Tradition tells of us one: Longinus, the soldier who pierced His side. But how many of the others?

Even after touching the Divine, in the end, it is our faith in Him that must sustain us through the dark moments until we can return to Him and once again touch the hand of God and bathe His feet with our tears.

And He will welcome us home.
