Summary
Jesus addresses a paralyzed man's spiritual problem—sin and alienation from God—before his physical affliction, demonstrating that our greatest problem is not circumstantial but spiritual. Through faith in Christ alone, we receive justification and forgiveness that no works or religious practice can earn.
Highlights
Your greatest problem is not your singleness, your greatest problem is not your job, your greatest problem is not your bank account, your greatest problem is your sin.
If anything other than Jesus goes in that blank, it is idolatry, and it will lead to your destruction. But friends, the good news is that through his death and resurrection, Jesus can go in that blank.
Jesus became the hunted so that you could be forgiven. Jesus was cast away from the Father's presence so that you could be brought in.
