Moleskine: In three of the gospels there is a story of some friends who carry their friend to Jesus. The friend is a paralytic, and the crowds block the way to Jesus. They carry him up on the roof, cut a hole in the roof, and lower him down to where Jesus was. Talk about good friends! Jesus then says, “Your sins are forgiven.”
If I were one of the friends, I probably would have thought, “What!?!? We want you to heal him. Isn’t that obvious?” Jesus does go on to heal him, but I think the story points to our greater need for forgiveness. Obviously Jesus knew the man was a paralytic, and his friends brought him for healing. By forgiving him, Jesus shows us that the stain of our sin is much more debilitating than even paralysis.
If you haven’t turned to Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins, the offer stands. “Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead and you will be saved.” “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
COT: prayers for Panhandle’s friend whose 2.0 recently passed away, Tbone’s other friend Ben who is having a biopsy on his eye, travelling mercies for Tortuga’s M and Tbone’s 2.0s.
