Why did Jesus not let Mary touch him?
Jesus did not let Mary touch Him because He had to immediately go into the very presence of the Father. He was ascending to the Father, to her God, to serve as High Priest in the greater and more perfect tabernacle in heaven.
Les explains that early that Sunday morning, Jesus would not let Mary touch Him because He still had to immediately go into the very presence of the Father. He said He was ascending to the Father, to the God of Mary. Les connects this to Hebrews 9, where Christ became a high priest of good things to come by a greater and more perfect tabernacle. He is not a high priest after Aaron but after Melchizedek, a priest of all. Moses was given a pattern of the heavenly tabernacle, showing that Christ's priestly work required entering the true tabernacle in heaven.
