Son of God!

For Wednesday, December 20, 2023:

Mark 2:10 NLT, Jesus speaking: “I will prove to you that the Son of Man (Jesus) has the authority on earth to forgive sins.”

Critics of Christianity claim that Jesus never identified himself as the heaven-sent Messiah. They’re wrong! As this scenario unfolded, Jesus told the paralyzed man that his sins were forgiven. But everyone present believed that only God could forgive sin. And here was Jesus, claiming to have powers like God! “Blasphemy,” they all said.

So to make his point and to establish once and for all who he was, Jesus told the man, “Stand up, pick up your mat, and go home!” What happened next was this: “The man jumped up, grabbed his mat, and walked out through the stunned onlookers.” Stunned indeed! They had been standing face to face with God, but failed to recognize him! It was time to re-think their position!

And if you don’t recognize Jesus as the Son of the Most High God, it’s time to re-think your position. Confidently knowing who Jesus is and believing he’s heaven-sent is the most important decision you’ll get to make in your lifetime!

Settle the matter by choosing wisely!
