Matthew 9:1-8:
In previous passages, Jesus has shown his power over nature and demons. In this passage from Matthew’s Gospel, he exercises power over sin making clear his authority to forgive and to heal. It is important to note the faith of the friends of the paralytic evidenced by the lengths to which they went to get him to Jesus.
It is through the gift of faith that you have blessed me with that I see my need to seek forgiveness and to forgive.
