He, who had atoned for the sins of all mankind through His suffering, death, and resurrection, stood immediately before them. Just as the women were the first to see Him, so also were they the first to touch Him. Matthew tells us, "They came and took hold of His feet."
 
Christian friends, when you feel close to God, you got it made. We are in touch with God through His sacred Word. He touches us with His grace when we humbly fall at His feet and worship Him as our sin-atoning Savior. He keeps in touch with us in the means of grace, and we with Him in prayer.
