Mark 2:1-12 tells us a wonderful example of persistent faith of four men who take all the risks to help a paralyzed man to bring him to Lord Jesus Christ.
Lord Jesus looked up to see four men so determined to bring their friend, a paralytic to the Lord for healing.
Lord Jesus looked down to see a man who wants to be healed but Lord saw the sickness of his heart first.
Lord Jesus Looked inside of the heart of the paralytic.
So forgave his sins and cured the sickness of his heart.
Lord Jesus looked around those front row teachers of the Law from the religious establishment.
He knew what was in their hearts and thoughts about HIM.
“He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
Lord declares to them that He has the authority to forgive sins.
Yes, our Lord Jesus is the only ONE who can forgive our sins because HE IS GOD.
Then He heals the paralytic physically so that he could walk away taking up his bed.
Lord Jesus came to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom of God but not to become a miracle worker.
His main focus on the ministry is to heal the sickness of the soul, the sin.
In the subsequent passage we see that Lord Jesus, a great Physician who makes a perfect diagnosis and provides a final & complete cure and also pays the bill.
My friend Lord Jesus is the only one who can forgive our sins and cure the sickness of our soul.
COME TO LORD JESUS
