Leviticus 15:19-23: in context

Among the laws of ceremonial purity is a provision about a woman's monthly discharge of blood, which rendered her ceremonially unclean, and anyone who touched her or what she had touched became unclean too. Under this law, uncleanness spread by contact: to touch the unclean was to become unclean. The impurity flowed outward, from the unclean person to whoever touched them, so that people kept their distance to avoid being defiled.

The principle in this law is that under the old covenant, uncleanness was contagious by touch. Contact with the unclean transferred the uncleanness; the flow was always from the unclean to the clean, defiling the one who touched. And so those who wished to remain clean kept their distance from the unclean, for to touch them was to be defiled. Uncleanness spread; cleanness did not. This was the pattern of the law: impurity was catching, and holiness was not. But when Christ came, the flow was reversed, and this very kind of uncleanness is part of the reversal. For there was a woman with exactly such a discharge of blood, unclean for many years, who came and touched Jesus in the crowd. Under the law, her touch would have made him unclean; the impurity would have flowed from her to him. But that is not what happened. Instead of her uncleanness defiling him, his wholeness flowed to her and healed her. The flow was reversed: his cleanness overcame her uncleanness, rather than her uncleanness overcoming his cleanness. This reveals something wonderful about Christ. His holiness is not defiled by contact with our uncleanness; rather, it overcomes and cleanses it. Where under the law the unclean defiled the clean, Christ, touching the unclean, makes them clean. He touched the leper, and instead of becoming unclean, he made the leper clean. He let the bleeding woman touch him, and instead of being defiled, he healed her. His cleanness is stronger than our uncleanness; his holiness is not diminished by contact with our defilement but overcomes it. This is deeply reassuring for us in our uncleanness. We might fear that our sin and defilement would keep Christ at a distance, that he could not draw near to us without being defiled, that our uncleanness is too much for his holiness. But the reversal in Christ says otherwise: his holiness is not defiled by our uncleanness but overcomes it. He draws near to the unclean, touches them, and makes them clean, rather than being made unclean himself. When we come to Christ in our defilement, we do not defile him; he cleanses us. Under the law, uncleanness spread by touch; but in Christ, the touch of the holy One cleanses the unclean, so that we may come to him with our defilement, not fearing to make him unclean, but trusting that his holiness overcomes and cleanses ours.

Do I fear that my sin and defilement would keep Christ at a distance, that my uncleanness is too much for his holiness to bear contact with, or can the reversal in Christ, where the woman with the very kind of uncleanness that spread by touch under the law touched him and was healed rather than defiling him, assure me that Christ's holiness is not diminished by contact with my uncleanness but overcomes and cleanses it, so that I come to him with my defilement trusting that his touch makes me clean?
