Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet returned to the Father.”
Why did Jesus tell Mary not to “hold on to” Him? Presumably it was not a problem with touching, since Jesus told Thomas to touch Him. Was it a gender issue?
I know Jesus said, “for I have not yet returned to the Father” but I don’t understand why that should prohibit physical contact.
