Lesson: 517 Lesson Name: The Paralytic is Healed
Theme: Sinner is Diseased, Dark, and Dead / Pardon and Forgiveness Reading: Mark 2:1-12 Matt. 9:1-8 Luke 5:17-26 Memory Verse: Mark 2:5
Memory Verse Text: Thy sins be forgiven thee. Point 1: Another miracle in Capernaum where He had cast out the unclean spirit. Someone let the people know that He was back again. The crowds came - filling the house to beyond the doors. He preaches the Word.
Point 2: A man in need is brought along. His friends are so anxious to see him cured that they break up the roof and let him down so that he can get to Him who has the power to deliver. The man before Him has NO power, but the One to whom they brought him had ALL power.
Point 3: The Lord speaks words to forgive. What an indication this is to show that He was concerned with the real problem that plagued the people. His ability to pronounce His forgiveness was not hindered by the presence of the Scribes and Pharisees who were quick to criticize.
Point 4: He then shows that His words to forgive are just as effective as His words to heal. He demonstrates His ability to heal and the man who was powerless receives power and rises up before the critics - causing the people to be filled with amazement and to glorify God. Notes: Palsy in this passage refers to him being a paralytic. See also: Divine Offices of Christ.
