Aim: To appreciate the grace of Christ's forgiveness, and to live in the light of it.
Exegesis: Do we believe in the forgiving Savior enough to listen to His word (vv. 1-2), enough to seek diligently His presence (v. 3), enough to intercede for others (v. 4)? Do we submit to the forgiving Savior, recognizing that He is all God (vv. 6-7) and all-powerful (vv. 8-11)? Do we respond to the forgiving Savior in obedience (v. 12a) and in praise (v. 12b)?
Key verse: v. 5 ''When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, 'Son, your sins are forgiven you.'''
