Gospel of Mark - Mark 2:1-5 - Prog 13

In this and the next lesson, we will see the Lord Jesus demonstrating His authority to both heal and to forgive sins. The people were so crowded around the Savior that some men could not get through to Him. So, they put their faith to work by making an opening in the roof. Why? They were bearing a friend on a stretcher who needed to be healed from his paralysis. Jesus saw their faith and said to the paralytic, “Your sins are forgiven”. Notice, Jesus sees the faith and forgives the sins. Some professional scribes doubted His statement. So, once again, the Lord demonstrates His same authority to both heal and to forgive sins. Jesus has divine authority to forgive your sin and mine! Let’s turn to Mark 2:1 with Dr. Mitchell speaking of the Savior’s authority to forgive sin.
