Matthew 9:2

And there people brought to him a paralytic lying on a stretcher. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Courage, child, your sins are forgiven.”

+++

The paralyzed man’s friends refused to allow him to be excluded. They literally tore off the ceiling to get him to Jesus.

They believed that Jesus could heal him physically.

Faith that strong is powerful!

Jesus told the paralytic to have “courage” and then said, “Your sins are forgiven.” Jesus, who did eventually physically heal the paralytic, was more concerned that the man was spiritually healed and made whole.

Jesus wanted him to know in a palpable way that he was always in the flow of God’s grace.

Jesus wanted him restored to his community as well.

What is it that has you “paralyzed” inside?

Is it a complex you have…a fear…a belief that you somehow don’t measure up? Is it shame?

Whatever it is that is holding you back from living freely as the beloved child of God that you are…holding you back from living as the unique expression of God’s love to the world that you are…allow Jesus to free you.

He is willing to go to extreme lengths to let you know that you are loved and worthy…even to be nailed to a cross…just to show you what unconditional love looks like!
