Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, “Why are you thinking these things? Which is easier: to say to this paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat and walk’? But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the man, “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!” (Mark 2:8-12 NIV)
Wow! Everyone is amazed at what Jesus did for this man. From reading this, it seems they were more impressed with his ability to physically heal. I am more amazed at his willingness to spiritually heal. Even more, that his is willing, able and has healed me. The display of physical power was just to show that he already have all power to do it all. He forgives sin, and he heals the flesh.
Thank you, Lord for all you do!
