Matthew 9:6 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, take your mat and go home.” 7 Then the man got up and went home. 8 When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe, and they praised God, who had given such authority to man.
When the Scribes heard Jesus declare the man's sins forgiven, they accused him of blasphemy. So He decided to perform a visible miracle "He told the paralyzed man to arise, take up your bed and walk" to show that He has the authority to forgive sin. But, they didn't understand, so they only became more hardened in their hatred and unbelief.Lord, fill us with true belief and faith that will remove all douth and fears, that help us be doers and hearers of the Word. Let the Holy Spirit give us Your wisdom and the knowledge to implement You in our daily lives. To give us eyes that see things from a Godly perspective, so we do not miss the lesson. Father, let our faith purify our hearts and draw us near Thee. Let our faith comfort us in the midst of fears and adversity. Lord, You were tempted in all ways as we are, with unbelief and doubt. But, You overcame all temptation, so we can too; through faith in Your Word. Thank You, Lord, for being active and present in our lives, even when we cannot see You, even when we were sinners and rejected You, and even when we didn't believe You. Thank You for choosing our hearts and minds to dwell in and making us a part of Your Holy family. So, thank You, Jesus, for breaking our chains of doubt and unbelief. In Jesus' name Amen 🙏
