VIII. MAIN BODY:

A. Touch me not

"Jesus said to her, Do not cling to Me [do not hold Me], for I have not yet ascended to the Father."

Isaiah 52:11 (Amplified Bible)

Depart, depart, go out from there [the lands of exile]! Touch no unclean thing! Go out of the midst of her [Babylon]; cleanse yourselves and be clean, you who bear the vessels of the Lord [on your journey from there].

2 Corinthians 6:17 (Amplified Bible)

So, come out from among [unbelievers], and separate (sever) yourselves from them, says the Lord, and touch not [any] unclean thing; then I will receive you kindly and treat you with favor,

John 1:29 (Amplified Bible)

The next day John saw Jesus coming to him and said, Look! There is the Lamb of God, Who takes away the sin of the world!

Remember JESUS CHRIST our LORD and SAVIOR is the LAMB of GOD who takes away the sins of this world. He is full of sin of the people even not yet born and if Mary Magdalene is to touch Him, she would contain it in herself, remember sin can be passed by touching or laying on of hands. Our LORD JESUS CHRIST have to ascend first to our FATHER GOD for the offering to be valid, remember Heaven is the Original tabernacle while Moses have only the copy.

Leviticus 4:24 (Amplified Bible)

He shall lay his hand on the head of the goat and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the Lord; it is a sin offering.

Hebrews 8:5 (Amplified Bible)

[But these offer] service [merely] as a pattern and as a foreshadowing of [what has its true existence and reality in] the heavenly sanctuary. For when Moses was about to erect the tabernacle, he was warned by God, saying, See to it that you make it all [exactly] according to the copy (the model) which was shown to you on the mountain.

Exodus 25:40 (Amplified Bible)

And see to it that you copy [exactly] their pattern which was shown you on the mountain.

B. Established relationship

"But go to My brethren and tell them, I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God."

We can now call GOD our FATHER, even in the most intimate way.

John 1:12 (Amplified Bible)

But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name—

Romans 8:15 (Amplified Bible)

For [the Spirit which] you have now received [is] not a spirit of slavery to put you once more in bondage to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption [the Spirit producing sonship] in [the bliss of] which we cry, Abba (Father)! Father!

Galatians 4:6 (Amplified Bible)

And because you [really] are [His] sons, God has sent the [Holy] Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, Abba (Father)! Father!

Before we are unknown, but now we are known because GOD is our FATHER.

2 Corinthians 6:9 (Amplified Bible)

[We are treated] as unknown and ignored [by the world], and [yet we are] well-known and recognized [by God and His people]; as dying, and yet here we are alive; as chastened by suffering and [yet] not killed;

IX. CONCLUSION:

Galatians 4:6 (Amplified Bible)
