Who Can Forgive Sins, But God Alone?

This wonderful account isn’t primarily a story about a healing, or even about confrontation. It’s a story grounded in the Son of Man’s mission to give His life a ransom for many, and His authority to forgive your sins, and His identity as the Son of God. Here’s how the story unfolds: i.) Jesus’ Surprising Claim (vv.1-5); ii.) The Scribes’ Silent Criticism (vv.6-9); iii.) The Son of Man’s Solid Proof (vv.10-12).
