Luke 5:24-26
« on: March 07, 2016, 05:05:53 am »
Luke 5:24-26 King James Version (KJV)
24 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.
25 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.
26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.

Luke 5:24-26
5:24 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins; He said to the man who was paralyzed, I say to you, Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.
5:25 Immediately he rose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.
5:26 And amazement seized them all, and they glorified God and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen incredible things today!
These are my thoughts, please share yours.

24 Sickness was seen as a result of sin so for Jesus to say He had the power to forgive this man’s sin but without him walking the people would have not believed his sins were forgiven. So Jesus wants this man to walk a man that may have never even stood.

25 Today we know that after a period of not using legs training is done to strength them so you can walk again, this man instantly was able walk under the power of Jesus. He now had a story that would amaze everyone and news would be spread about Jesus from him.

26 They had not seen anything like this, when we receive the Spirit and come to Jesus by faith do we jut stand in amazement like these men or do we get up and walk telling people about what He had done for us.

 Hi Clark

Something very funny with the mindset of the Jews in those days. They had the book of Job and studied it and yet they still came to the conclusion that if a man was sick it was because he or his parents sinned.

So is it okay to conclude that working a miracle that heals somebody from a sickness is the same thing as having his sins forgiven? It's obvious by these verses they didn't believe that to be so.

Mac to you point 🎉

“As He passed by, He saw a man blind from birth. And His disciples asked Him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?" Jesus answered, " It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him.”
