Episode Details

We read in the Gospel today about Jesus forgiving the sins of the paralytic brought to His presence. Perhaps what they were expecting was a physical cure only. Some scribes present, heard of these blasphemous words of this man called Jesus. So, they cried foul! Jesus challenged them by asking them which was easier to do, to forgive his sins, or to get the paralytic to get up and walk. Jesus got him to move again to prove the reality of having also the power to forgive his sins. Oh, the people were in awe, as we all should be! Curing the paralytic to walk again is miraculous. But even better was His forgiving his sins. If He can do both, there must be more to Jesus than meets the eye!
