Authority & Forgiveness | Follow Me 2 | Pastor Keith Indovino

In Mark 2:1-12, Jesus demonstrates His authority to forgive sins, revealing our greatest need—spiritual restoration. Often, we approach Jesus with immediate needs like healing, provision, or guidance, but He looks beyond the surface to address the deeper issue: sin. The paralytic sought physical healing, the scribes clung to self-righteous judgment, and the crowds marveled at the miracle but missed the message. Jesus challenges us to trust Him not just as Healer or Provider, but as Savior. By meeting our unseen need for forgiveness, Jesus offers more than we expect, calling us to faith, humility, and reliance on His authority.
