Re:Verse passage – Mark 2:1-12 (day five). And Jesus seeing their faith *said to the paralytic, “ Son, your sins are forgiven.”
It’s a beautiful picture. All 5 of these men have faith that was recognized by Jesus. What was it that they believed? I think they believed that Jesus could and would meet their friend’s deepest need. They were right, and they were wrong. They were right in the sense that Jesus could meet His deepest need. They were wrong in understanding what his deepest need actually was. Jesus was very clear and understood completely what his biggest need actually was- the forgiveness of sin, to be in a right relationship with the Living God. Jesus at that moment looked past the circumstances and met the paralyzed man’s greatest need- forgiveness of Sin.
Will you ask Him to do the same for you? Lord- Look past our circumstances and meet our greatest need!! (Help us be in a right relationship with You, Lord)
