Touching Jesus We Can Rewrite Our History

Roberto Mata, a Mexican immigrant who worked in California fields before attending seminary and eventually obtaining his Ph.D. at Harvard, spoke at a church about the challenges faced by the Hispanic community and the importance of faith. Mata discussed the economic, social, and political obstacles that Hispanics face and noted that these factors can lead to disappointment and a lack of confidence in political leadership and the church. However, he argued that the solution is to be proactive and to have faith, citing the example of the woman with the issue of blood in the Bible who heard about the miracles of Jesus and had faith that touching his cloak would heal her. Mata emphasized the importance of listening carefully to testimonies of God's power and experiencing the reality of God in one's life.

The importance of listening to testimonies of God's power and work in people's lives is emphasized, as it can be a seed of hope in our hearts. The story of the woman with the issue of blood is used to illustrate the need to overcome fears and stigmas in order to approach Jesus with a focused goal. The speaker also addresses the tendency to not listen due to laziness, distractions, and cynicism, and encourages the congregation to take action and not just hear but act upon what they hear. The message concludes with a reminder to forget criticism and negativity and focus on the goal of approaching Jesus.
