Paralytic Man and Jesus

**Waqar Daniel** Tue 10 Jul 2007, 10:04 am

Greetings, peace and blessings in the name of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ.

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'. (Mathew 9:1-2)[B]

In this incident, we see two miracles; first is the forgiveness of sins and the other is healing of the paralytic man. The interesting part is that, Jesus had compassion on the paralytic man because of the faith of [b]'some men' who brought him to Jesus for healing.

Incidents in the Bible are not just recorded to fill in the space but every verse has a meaning and a use in our lives. Therefore, if any member of our family or friend or anyone needs to know who Jesus is and get saved, or needs to give up any type of addiction or needs healing, or needs to leave a sinful life, we must pray for them because God will save them and heal them according to our faith.

Mathew 9:1-2, is a promise made to us by Jesus Himself in this regard, and 'In Him all the promises of God are yes' (2 Corinthians 1:20)
