Whatever Jesus lays His hands upon, lives. If He lays is hands upon a marriage, it lives. If He is allowed to lay His hands on the family, it lives.

Hunter’s statement draws on New Testament miracle imagery—Christ’s touch restoring life and wholeness—and applies it to domestic and covenant relationships. “Whatever Jesus lays His hands upon, lives” frames discipleship not as mere moral improvement but as spiritual enlivening: marriages and families flourish when Christ is invited to shape priorities, behavior, and commitments. The conditional phrasing (“If He is allowed…”) emphasizes human agency and consent—Christ’s power is real, but its transforming effect in home life depends on welcoming His influence through faith, repentance, prayer, and covenant keeping. The quote functions as pastoral counsel, encouraging believers to center family life on Christ as the source of renewal and endurance.
