We Need Forgiveness More Than Healing
When Jesus forgave a man who came looking for healing, He revealed our need and His authority. As we attempt to bring people to Jesus, we must seek to address their greatest need – their need for forgiveness.

You Need This Kind of Friendship (Mark 2:1-5)
- We all need the kind of friendships that will get us to Jesus by any means necessary.
- Not only do we need the kind of friends who bring us to Jesus, we need to be the kind of friend who brings others to Jesus.
- We need people around us with the right type of faith and the right amount of willingness.
You Need This Kind of Forgiveness (Mark 2:5-8)
- Our greatest need is not the one that is always glaringly obvious.
- We need forgiveness for our sins more than relief from our circumstances.
- Jesus is able to go beyond what we ask in order to provide for us what we need.
You Need This Kind of Jesus (Mark 2:9-12)
- Jesus never indicated that this interruption to His sermon was ever outside of His plan.
- The reaction of the crowd and the response of Jesus clarified the speculation – Jesus claimed to be God.
- Jesus validated His authority to forgive by proving His ability to heal.
Have you ever received the forgiveness that Jesus is offering you?
Is there a friend you need to get to Jesus by whatever means necessary?
