Have you ever wondered, Does Jesus really have the power to forgive sins? In Luke 5, Jesus returns to Capernaum, where a paralyzed man is lowered through the roof by his friends to be healed. But instead of healing him first, Jesus says, "Man, your sins are forgiven you." This shocks the Pharisees, who believe only God can forgive sins. Jesus knows their thoughts and responds, “Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’?" To prove His authority, Jesus tells the man, "Rise, pick up your bed and go home," and the man is healed instantly. Jesus uses this moment to demonstrate His divine power to forgive sins. The physical healing proves His authority in the spiritual realm. Jesus is ready to forgive your sins today.
