Bible Text: Mark 2:1-12 | Preacher: James Allan | Series: Mark | This man could not walk but Jesus perceives a greater need that others could not. It was harder to tell him to rise and walk because it required evidence. Jesus did what they considered the hard thing to do. Therefore He could forgive sins; one thing proves the other. It could never be easy for Him to forgive sins. It involved the agony of the cross. It required divine justice to be satisfied.
