BIBLE TEXT: Mark 2:1-12

[1]And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.

[2]And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.

[3]And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.

[4]And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.

[5]When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.

[6]But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,

[7]Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?

[8]And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?

[9]Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?

[10]But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)

[11]I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.

[12]And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.

Alame man sat and begged each day;

He could not walk, or run, or play.

To Peter and to John he said,

“Give me some gold to buy some bread.”

They had no silver and no gold.

Butthey reach out his hand to hold,

And raised him up to walk and run.

And told him of God’s only Son.

The happy man ran through the streets,

And shouted to the friends he meet,

“IWalk, I run, Oh, can;t you see,

Praised be to God who healed me! Jean Shannon

By receiving Him as your Saviour, He will forgive your sin just as He forgave the sin of this paralytic man years ago and also give

CONCLUSION: The curious on lookers expressed their amazemnent and glorified God.

CHALLENGE: God is the giver of physical blessings. Look up to Him for your physical blessings and that of your loved ones.

INVITATION: Receive Jesus as Lord and Saviour Acts 16:31.
