Jesus has power to heal the sick and forgive our sins

Jesus has power to heal the sick and forgive our sins

Mt 9:2, 5, 6

² Some men brought to him a paralyzed man, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, “Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.”

³ At this, some of the teachers of the law said to themselves, “This fellow is blaspheming!”

⁴ Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said, “Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts? ⁵ Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

⁶ But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, take your mat and go home.” ⁷ Then the man got up and went home. 

⁸ When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe; and they praised God, who had given such authority to man.

Mt 12:31, 32

³⁰ “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. 

³¹ And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 

³² Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.

³³ “Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit.

We learn the following from the above verses

1)    Jesus has power to heal the sick and forgive our sins

2)    Jesus forgave the paralyzed man and healed him

3)    Whoever is not with Jesus is against Jesus, and whoever does not gather with Jesus scatters.

4)     Every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit.
