Matthew 9:1-8
Bring people to Jesus
. 2 Then behold, they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bedThe beginning of this story shows Jesus going to his own city and some guys bring him a paralyticIts interesting that Jesus saw THEIR faith- not the faith of the one who was to be healed. Its also interesting that Jesus cared more about this man sins than he cared about his situationBenson- By this Jesus intimated, both to the paralytic and to those who brought him, 1st, that sin is the source of all our evils; 2dly, that, sin being forgiven, bodily distempers can do us no real or lasting harm; 3dly, that the primary end of his coming into the world was to save his people from their sins; Did you catch that? 1. Sin is the source of all of our evils 2. Being forgiven of sin is more important that body problems. 3. Jesus came to save sins, not to fix all of our worldly problems. Therefore- if sin is the source of all of our problems, shouldn’t we make it a focus to bring people to be set free from the law of sin and death? Shouldn’t we help people to be set free from sin?Mark 16:15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.Matthew 28:19 Go [a]therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,What is the Gospel? Its very simple- Jesus came to save people from the penalty of their sinsThat’s why in this story he says that healing is easy- but only God can forgive sin- Theres two parts you can get from this first part- One- your faith can bring someone to Jesus to be set free 2. Jesus came to forgive sin- healing is secondary- he can do that too, but not primaryWhat does it mean to you? Are you bringing people to Jesus? Are you helping them be healed and set free?Jesus is a healer! Matt 8:16 Healed all who were ill Matt 12:15 He healed them all Matt 14:14 Healed their sick Luke 4:40 He was healing them Luke 9:11 Curing those who had need of healing Mark 3:10 He had healed many Matt 8:7 “I will come and heal him” Jesus can and will heal people- that is true- but his PRIMARY mission was to forgive SINSo when we read in the Bible- we see that the earliest disciples went and preached this2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.In this story we see people with Faith, bringing people to Jesus- we should bring people to Jesus- it should be what we think about and what we are about- bringing people to Jesus1 Corinthians 9:22 to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.We’re not going to save them all, but we can save some- we can lead some- have FAITH2 Timothy 4:5b do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.Whens the last time you shared your testimony with someone? Whens the last time you invited someone to church? Whens the last time you lead someone to Christ? There are hurting people all around- look for them- bring them to Jesus!Luke 14:23 Then the master said to the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. 1 Corinthians 1:17 Romans 10:1
Forgive people
So Jesus comes and he heals this guy and forgives him as well- what do the scribes do?3 And at once some of the scribes said within themselves, “This Man blasphemes!”Why did they say this? They didn’t think Jesus was God- and only God can forgive sinTo them- they didn’t believe in Jesus, so it was blasphemy to forgive- which, ok, somewhat understandable somewhat- but they didn’t even rejoice that this guy was healed- They wanted him to stay in his sin? They wanted him to be a paralytic? Infirmed?
