Jesus the one and only: the great empathizer

Jesus the one and only: the great empathizer by ric Gustafson


Jesus gets excited when he sees our faith. One time, Jesus was speaking to a full house. Nobody else was able to get in. Four people brought their disabled friend. They could not get in. They decide to dig a hole through the roof and lower him in. They lower him right in front of Jesus. Jesus gets excited when he sees our faith. Jesus admired their determination. Instead of offering healing, Jesus said something else. " My child, your sins are forgiven". The man was disabled and he was disabled by sin. Jesus wanted to deal with his symptom and not his problem. His greatest need was spiritual.
This is why I am a Christian. Jesus loves me this I know.
