IV. DOUBT IS ON THE PROWL. 6-11 The Jews integrally connected sin and suffering. They argued that if a man was suffering he must have sinned. Eliphaz comments to Job: Job 4:7, "Remember now, who ever perished being innocent? Or where were the upright ever cut off?” The Rabbis had a saying, “There is no sick man healed of his sickness until all his sins have been forgiven him.” 1. One statement is invisible in its demonstration; the other is visible in that it can be verified. Forgiveness takes place in the heart, transformation is metamorphosis. 2. Jesus knew what the scribes were thinking while in His worship service. 3. Doubt will keep you unresponsive to your greatest need – JESUS! V. DEITY (HE’S GOD) WAS PROVEN. 7-11 v.7 “Who can forgive sins but God alone?” “Why does this man speak blasphemies like this?” Jesus is either Lord or a Lunatic Jesus is either God or an Imposter Jesus is either God or a Blasphemer v.10-11 – “But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins…” SPECIAL NOTE: - “power on earth to forgive sins.” If our sins are to be forgiven, it must be while we are still on earth; both character and destiny are fixed at death. The Bible offers no hope of redemption beyond the grave. ILLUSTRATION: Rich man and Lazarus, “great gulf fixed” (Luke 16:19-31). “A path runs from earth to heaven; and a path runs from earth to hell, but no path runs from hell to heaven. Purgatory is a myth; the endless masses said for dead men’s souls are all full of vain hope.” John Phillips WHAT HAPPENS WHEN JESUS IS IN THE HOUSE (February 27, 2011 - AM Service) - 4
VI. GOD WAS PRAISED. 12 “immediately” – on the spot “amazed” “glorified God” “We never saw anything like this!” (“We never saw it on this fashion”) The salvation of a soul is the greatest Christian apologetic. Healing would allow this man to walk home. Forgiveness would allow this man to walk into heaven. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN JESUS IS IN THE HOUSE (February 27, 2011 - AM Service) - 5
