2 | why jesus had not allowed mary to touch | John 20:17 | stjohn | 202546 | ||
Hi jayaraj: Welcome to the forum! Scripture doesn't really say why, other then Jesus instructed her not to cling to Him as He had not yet ascended to the Father. I believe we can assume however that He did ascended to the Father in the interim between verse 17 and verse 19. Also we are aware that soon after, He instructs Thomas to touch Him. So we assume according to His very words, that He somehow, needed to. That He did indeed, ascended to the Father, sometime between vs17 and 19. One of those places that God doesn't explain himself. But then, He can do just as He pleases, cant He? :-) God bless John |
