givenMark 2:5.
PRIMARY TOPIC When the House Was
Crowded.
JUNIOR TOPIC Who Can Forgive Sin?
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC
Bringing People to Christ.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
Christianity's Concern for Spiritual Health.
Man is so constantly concerned
with his physical nature, the needs
and interests of his body, that he is
prone to forget that there is within
him a spiritual nature which is in
fact his real self. The body which
is the temporary dwelling place of
I the soul is most important but rel-
,atively it is of but slight signifi
'cance when considered alongside of
the spiritual life of man.
J Our lesson presents the Lord Je
us as being rightly concerned with
jthe needs of the palsied man's body,
jbut his act of healing was incidental
ito the infinitely more important act
,6f forgiving his sins. Consider him,
for his was indeed
! I. A Hopeless Case (v. 3).
j Incurably afflicted and helpless
iphysically, but far more deeply af
jflicted spiritually was this poor
jhian, for he was still in his sins. No
jhian was able to heal his body, only
Cod could heal his soul. He was
Indeed hopeless until he met Jesus.
He knows no hopeless case. With
God all things are possible, and
Jesus Christ is God.
We are even as was this man,
for without God we too are without
hope (Eph. 2:12). Let us face the
facts and admit that unless we are
saved through Christ we are eter
nally and completely lost.
II. Impossible Conditions (vv. I,
z, V.
We say that the circumstances
surrounding this man were such as
to make it impossible for him to
reach the Lord, for so they would
have been apart from the spirit of
divine urgency which impelled his
helpers to cut through every excuse
and brush aside every hindrance.
"Where there's a will there's a
way." Had these men been con
trolled by convention they would
never have put their friend at the
feet of Jesus. But note that before
taking up the roof they tried the
door. They tried to use the proper
entry, but it was blocked. It often
is sometimes by customs, some
times by religious ceremony, often
by vain philosophy.
III. Immediate Conversion . 5;.
At once Jesus sees their faith and
lorgives the man his sins. God al
ways welcomes and honors faith.
Note that Jesus who as Cod had
the power to forgive sins immedi
ately cleansed him from all un
righteousness. This man's affliction proved to be
his greatest blessing. If he had not
had the palsy he mipht never have
met the Lord. Suffering properly
borne may be a means of grace.
IV. Secret Criticism (vv. 6, 7).
What a serious thought it is that
the unspoken word which we think
we have hidden away in the heart
or mind is known to God. "All
things are naked and opened unto
the eyes of him with whom we
have to do" (Hob. 4:13). "There is
nothing hid that shall not be known"
(Luke 12:2). What does the Lord
see when he looks into your heart
and mine?
Their theology was faultless
their reasoning was lojica!. but
their premise was wrong. They
were right in saying that only God
couid forgivs sin. But they were
w. :n churning that Jesus was
tw and therefore a blas-

I'lji-'ivitig sins was harder than
I. .i'ing the body, but these enemies
c. Jesus lived so much in the realm
i A :!ie physical that they missed
thi.t important truth. Hp meets the
ui . i'c ir.e of their unbelief by going
into their own limited fie '. of ob
servation. They were not able to
teft the effectiveness of His forgive
ness of sins. They did not believe
in Him, hence they would not re
ceive it by faith.
Let us remember that the inci
dent took place in the early days of
our Lord's ministry. While we do
not condone their hostility to the
tender and loving service of our
Lord to humanity, we can under
s'and their slowness to accept his
Claims to divine power. In our
day we have no such excuse, for
all gospel history is available to us.
God help us that we may not sit in
the seat of the scornful and "de
mand a sign" before we will believe.
