Mar 2:1 A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home.
Mar 2:2 So many gathered that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them.
Mar 2:3 Some men came, bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four of them.
Mar 2:4 Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus and, after digging through it, lowered the mat the paralyzed man was lying on.
Mar 2:5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven."
We read this this morning and discussed as family this very amazing truth. The question was raised, Why did Jesus forgive this man's sins? You know there are people who foolishly pass judgement on people based on what they say or do and never give thought on a very important message Jesus taught. How can I know a person by merely viewing their actions and words they speak? It is very tempting to simply accept this behavior in people as the people they are. Before we can learn by Jesus' example we need to understand that we can often tell the spiritual state in people by their actions, this by no means is our final judgement on that person. God is our final judge and he will decide our spiritual condition. Man merely understands what people do and say......God understands Why they do what they do and say.
This mans sins were forgiven because Jesus knew his heart and wanted Forgivness.
