Topic : Lessons From A Healed Man.
Memory Verse :Luke 5:20. When Jesus saw how much faith they had, he said to the man, “Your sins are forgiven, my friend.”
Bible Reading : Luke 5:17-19 GNB. Key Verse : v19.
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. 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.
This very day, Jesus Christ was teaching and all kinds of learned men was there in the audience because he shared wisdom that is beyond human knowledge. And because the wisdom he shared was not of this world, but of God, the power of God was always available to confirm his personality and teachings with extra ordinary signs and wonders. Some men brought their sick and paralysed friend on a bed to be healed. But the crowd was so much that they couldn’t access him. Because they were desperate, they had to devise a means to open the roof of the building at their own cost to lay their sick friend down to where Jesus can minister healing to him.
By the time they were able to lay their friend before Jesus Christ, down from the top of the roof, their faith was confirmed by the master himself. When Jesus saw the strength of their faith, he simply told the sick man that his sins were forgiven. The Pharisees and teachers of the law ignorant of his personality began to reason among themselves that he was speaking blasphemy by making himself equal to God. They had understanding that only God can forgive sins. “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’?” Luke 5:22-23.
“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!” At once the man got up in front of them all, took the bed he had been lying on, and went home, praising God. They were all completely amazed! Full of fear, they praised God, saying, “What marvellous things we have seen today!”” Luke 5:24-26. One of the things to learn here is that Jesus is God who came to the earth as a man and not an ordinary prophet which puts him in the right position to forgive sins. Another lesson to learn here is that anywhere the true word of God is being dispensed, the power of God that heals and resolves every difficult issues is always present or available to as many as know how to tap into same. Another thing to learn here is that this power of God, though available responds to men according to their faith. Again sin a destroyer that we must avoid always because it provides the enemy the legal ground to stand and strike. Finally we must realised that faith is always demonstrated by our actions.
Prayer : Thank you Lord Jesus because you are God. Thank you for shedding your blood to cover my sins. Thank you because of your awesome power that is always available to confirm your word. Thank you because this power will work for me now and forever in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
