Sermon: Christ Has Authority To Forgive Sins

Published: May 9, 2021, 4 a.m.

Every story Luke gives us is like the richest, heaviest little piece of fudge you ever ate. How could so much (gospel) goodness be jammed into something so small?

This week is no different. Four friends hustle to get their paralyzed fifth before Jesus. How Jesus responds sends shockwaves through the room. Jesus drives through the physical to the spiritual, making a provocative statement about who He was and the redemptive mission He was on.

Christ has authority to forgive sin.
There is no better news.

Luke 5:17-26
