A Major Intervention

When you ask people, “How are you doing?”, they may respond, “As long as I have my health and strength, that’s all that matters.” Would Jesus agree with that statement? When friends brought a paralyzed man to Jesus for healing, He intervened with the restoration of the man’s soul first. Alistair Begg emphasizes that the biggest need in all our lives is the need that was represented in this man’s life: the need for our sins to be forgiven.
