Mark 2:1-12

Listen to Mark 2:1-12
1 And when he returned to Caper'na-um after some days, it was reported that he was at home.
2 And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room for them, not even about the door; and he was preaching the word to them.
3 And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men.
4 And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him; and when they had made an opening, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic lay.
5 And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "My son, your sins are forgiven."
6 Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts,
7 "Why does this man speak thus? It is blasphemy! Who can forgive sins but God alone?"
8 And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, "Why do you question thus in your hearts?
9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise, take up your pallet and walk'?
10 But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins" --he said to the paralytic--
11 "I say to you, rise, take up your pallet and go home."
12 And he rose, and immediately took up the pallet and went out before them all; so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this!"

Only God Can Forgive Our Past
Only God Can Forgive Our Past
Bob Russell, Mike Breaux, Rick Atchley, Ben Cachiaras, Aaron Brockett, and Gene Appel

In the scope of eternity Jesus has the bigger picture and He understands how our eternal welfare is dependent on our relationship with the creator God. The Bible tells us we have broken that relationship through our disobedience, sin, and guilt.It is no wonder that Satan capitalizes upon our guilt to keep us at distance with God, but, Jesus has the authority to forgive our sin, and bring us back to God. This month, Gene Appel, Senior Pastor with the East Side Christian Church in Anaheim, California has been unpacking some ways where “Only God” can make the difference in our lives and how this week: “Only God Can Forgive Our Past.” Listen as Gene show's us how to erase the guilt, and find reconciliation to our heavenly Father, through perfect, eternal, forgiveness
