Jesus Has Authority to Forgive Sins, Part 1
Playback speed
Today, we're diving into a fascinating story from Mark's gospel. A paralysed man, carried by his friends, couldn't reach Jesus because of the crowd. So they lowered him through the roof, and Jesus did something completely unexpected – he forgave the man's sins. You might wonder, just like the paralysed man probably did, why Jesus spoke of forgiveness when physical healing was clearly needed. Pastor Colin explores this intriguing choice and why forgiveness is ultimately Jesus' highest priority for us.
