This passage reveals an important lesson. Our simple acts reveal our faith in Christ’s ability to bring change and healing in our lives. “ Some men brought to him a paralytic, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, ‘Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.’” (v.2) The simple act of bringing the paralytic man to Jesus revealed their faith in Jesus’ ability to heal. The response of Jesus was to offer forgiveness.
