Luke 5:17-26: Jesus Over Sin 2/2/2025

In Luke 5:17-26, Jesus forgives a paralyzed man’s sins before healing his body, showing His ultimate authority over sin. By addressing the man’s spiritual need first, Jesus reveals the deeper purpose of His mission: to restore our relationship with God. Jesus does not stop there; to demonstrate His divine authority, he heals the man physically as well. This story calls us to trust in Jesus, who alone has the power to forgive our sins and bring true healing to our hearts. No burden of guilt or shame is too heavy for Him to lift. May this truth encourage you today: Jesus is not only able to heal what is seen but also what is unseen. He offers us forgiveness, hope, and a new life.
