Topic :Jesus Is God.

Memory Verse : Luke 5:25. At once the man got up in front of them all, took the bed he had been lying on, and went home, praising God.

Bible Reading : Luke 5:22-24 GNB. Key Verse : v24.

Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, “Why do you think such things? Is it easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’ I will prove to you, then, that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralysed man, “I tell you, get up, pick up your bed, and go home!”

Jesus Christ was teaching on this particular occasion and the building was overcrowded. The Pharisees, doctors of the law and other notable personalities of those days was physically present. As usual the anointing of God that heals and breaks yokes was present to rewrite ugly and negative stories on men. Some men who had a paralysed friend brought him on his bed for Jesus to minister healing to l him. “One day when Jesus was teaching, some Pharisees and teachers of the Law were sitting there who had come from every town in Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was present for Jesus to heal the sick. Some men came carrying a paralysed man on a bed, and they tried to take him into the house and put him in front of Jesus.” Luke 5:17-18.

“Because of the crowd, however, they could find no way to take him in. So they carried him up on the roof, made an opening in the tiles, and let him down on his bed into the middle of the group in front of Jesus. When Jesus saw how much faith they had, he said to the man, “Your sins are forgiven, my friend.” The teachers of the Law and the Pharisees began to say to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks such blasphemy! God is the only one who can forgive sins!” Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, “Why do you think such things?” Luke 5:19-22.

Most of the people was seeing Jesus as a great prophet. They saw him as Joseph’s son, but never knew that Joseph had no hand in his conception, but co-operated with the Spirit or angel of God who told him in his dream that Mary didn’t play the whore, but was pregnant by the Spirit of God. Jesus therefore was God coming to the earth in the flesh. The informed audience of Jesus knew that only God Almighty had capacity to forgive sins. So that fact that he forgiving sins didn’t go down well with them. Another proof that Jesus is God that we can see in the main text, is his ability to read their mind or thoughts and respond to such without any exchange of words. This means that he knows all things. All God knows all things. At the word of Jesus, the paralytic stood up from the bed of sickness and went home sound, praising God.

Prayer: Thank Lord Jesus because you are God who came in the flesh so that you can redeem me from my sins. Thank you for shedding your blood to cover my sins. Thank you for forgiving me and washing my sins away with your blood. Thank you for making me the righteousness of God by grace. I will serve you forever in Jesus glorious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Exodus 20:1-22.
