Take heart! Jesus Forgives Sin
May 18, 2025 • Sam Vendt
Main Idea: Take heart! Jesus is God and has authority to forgive your sin and free you from its consequences.
1. the Paralytic's faith-filled hope: Jesus forgives sin and heals its consequences (vv. 1-2)
2. The Scribes' faithless objection: only God can forgive sin, not this man. (vv. 3-4)
3. Jesus' divine authority on display: Jesus, the Son of Man, is God (vv. 5-7)
4. The Crowd's awestruck response: Glory to God! (v. 8)
