Jesus Heals the Paralytic

Selected Scriptures  (ID: 3144)

When Jesus met a lame man, he knew that the man’s real need was greater than physical healing. As Alistair Begg explains in this sermon, Jesus not only healed the man’s physical body but also restored him to a right relationship with God through the forgiveness of his sins. In light of this example, we should remember to show mercy to those in need even as we bear in mind that their greatest need can only be met through the work of Christ.
