—Mark 2:1-12
by: Katie Brown.
As humans, we often crave physical proof to verify the beliefs we have. Jesus knew that the real power He possessed lay in forgiving the man. But the crowd around Him did not understand this without a physical healing of the man as well. Today, we have the benefit of the entire Scripture plus the Holy Spirit to help us understand, but still we can easily fall in to the trap of doubt. This can lead to us not believing in Jesus’ power to truly forgive our sins. May we turn to Scripture and to God’s presence so that we can be continually amazed by His saving power.
