Lent 2014 page 8 by ric gustafson?
Matthew 9:6- ' But so you know that the Human One has the authority on earth to forgive sins, get up, take up your cot and go home'.
We are surrounded by miracles. Even though we see these miracles, sometimes we demand more proof of God's power. We look for miraculous transformations and God glories in lives that are ordinary and explainable. When Jesus healed the paralyzed man's soul, people were not impressed. They were looking for something solid and verifiable while Jesus was healing the man's soul from the inside.
To prove his power, Jesus told the man to get up and go home. When the man stood up and began to walk, then the people believed Jesus. Jesus healed his body and his heart and mind. The grace of Jesus performs miracles every day. What further proof do we need?.
