Gospel of Mark - Mark 2:5-12 - Prog 14

We continue in Mark 2:1-12 with Jesus demonstrating His authority. Both Matthew 9 and Luke 5 present this same incident of four men making a way to the Savior through the roof of the house where Jesus was teaching. The problem the scribes and pharisees had was their ignorance of the Savior and His divine authority. It is easy to say words that declare the forgiveness of sins, but only the Lord Jesus Christ has the divine authority to not only declare it, but to make it happen. Our Lord demonstrated the authority of God in commanding the paralytic man to rise up, take his stretcher and go home. He did just that in the presence of all the people. The people were completely astounded by this miracle in which Jesus demonstrated His Deity.
