When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you” (Matthew 9:2).
Are you living by sight or by faith?
Esau walks in from the field after hunting and smells the stew Jacob is making. Famished, Esau commands Jacob, “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am weary” (Genesis 25:30). The Hebrew verb “feed” indicates to gulp down greedily or to devour. Esau is cited in the New Testament as follows: “who for one morsel of food sold his birthright” (Hebrews 12:16).
Unlike Esau, who could walk by his own power, a paralyzed man is brought to Jesus. His condition seems to be related to personal sin. Jesus says after observing the faith of his friends and the man, “Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you” (Matthew 9:2). Faith in Jesus led to the forgiveness of sin.
Employment Point: Abstain from fleshly desires and live by faith to please Jesus.
