Face to Face With Jesus - a Lenten MeditationSample

Friends who carry you into the presence of God are friends who you need to hold on to. These people brought to Jesus a man who was paralyzed. Jesus true to Himself said to him “Son, be of good cheer, your sins are forgiven”. Of course this triggered the scribes to think he was blaspheming when in reality he was doing only what He, as God, can do. It’s funny how Jesus intercepts their thoughts, and spells it out for them.
How often we have said the right thing but allowed our thoughts to run rampant with bitterness, judgement and envy? It’s a good reminder for us to be accountable to God for even our thoughts because what’s within us will eventually ooze out. They could either cause havoc around us or bring peace.
Questions to ask yourself
Am I a friend who brings others to the throne of God in prayer?
Is there a recurrent thought/thoughts that God might seek to change in me?
Scripture
