Matthew 9:1 - 9:8

Gospel of Matthew
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg

In this segment, Steve Gregg interprets Matthew 9:1-8 where Jesus forgives a paralyzed man's sins. Gregg notes that Jesus' statement, "your sins are forgiven," did not only pertain to the man's sin against Jesus personally, but rather all sins he had committed against God. Jesus' ability to forgive was a display of his God-given authority. Gregg highlights the importance of reconciliation with God and having faith in obtaining forgiveness for one's sins.
