Matt
9:6
But that ye may know that the
Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of
the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
He Has Power On Earth to
Forgive Sins
Jesus’
power/jurisdiction was to be known by humanity.
Jesus’ healing of this man was intended not only for the man’s well
being but for the legitimization of His authority to forgive sins on the
earth. Christ wants us to know that He
forgives and He has the delegated influence to forgive sins on this earth. This man had the palsy and was unable to
walk. He was restricted, confined and
unable to get where he needed to go in a smooth, unhindered manner. When our sins are upon us, we, like this man,
will find ourselves lame and slowed down in all that the Lord has for us. Jesus forgives sins. That is why we must preach Jesus to others
and not just a vague concept of some eternal deity. Jesus has the power on this earth to forgive
sins. This forgiveness brings liberty,
freedom and the ability to cover the ground He wants us to cover. He forgives! He has the authority to do so.
The healing we need
Is the one deep within,
Where the Forgiver of Sinners
Forgives us of sin.
