    Why does Jesus tell Mary not to touch him because he has yet to ascend??
  • Kent Bass - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Charles Dwight Huff because he was going to the throne of God The Father Almightly. There can be nothing unclean in his presence.

    Hi Charles,

    I agree with Mishael and S Spencer, the sacrifice of Jesus as the "Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world" replaced all the animal sacrifices and other physical rituals and ceremonies temple rituals and laws for the Aaron priesthood to completion they performed at the Temple of God in Jerusalem.

    If you look at the Feast of the First Fruits will help, Leviticus 23:9-14. Eating any of the grain of the first harvest is not permitted until a sample sheaf is gathered and brought to the Temple at sunrise, the first day after the Sabbath following the Passover Day. This was the same day Jesus resurrected. Jesus ascended the same time the priest was waving the sheaf of grain from the first harvest for acceptance by God.

    When Jesus first ascended to heaven, he presented himself and was accepted by God the First Fruits of them that slept. This explains why Mary Magdalene could not touch Jesus before he ascended because no one could partake of him before God accepted him. This may have been when He placed His own blood in the holy of holies, Hebrews 9:11-17. He came right back down and appeared to the women on their way to tell the disciples Jesus had resurrected, and we see they could touch Him then. Matthew 28:9-10.

    This day is also the first day of counting each day of the seven Sabbaths, the first day after the seventh Sabbath was day 50, The Feast of Weeks, the day we call Pentecost the second harvest. The First Fruits, the shadow of things to come, it came when Jesus resurrected and ascended to the Father. This made it possible for the second harvest in 50 days, Pentecost, the First Fruits of the Spirit.

    God bless,

    Hi Charles D.

    I also hold the view that Mishael holds.

    I have also heard that He meant for her to not cling on to him, They both may be true,, I don't see neither view voiding one another. The reason and Emphasis seems to be on him first ascending to the Father

    John 20:16-17. Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

    ( Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; FOR I AM NOT YET ASCENDED TO MY FATHER: )

    but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
  • Mishael - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Sorry. He would've been defiled had she touched Jesus at that time.
  • Mishael - In Reply - 3 years ago
    I was told that Jesus made a quick trip to the Throne of God to assume the office of High Priest.
