AUTHORITY TO FORGIVE SINS
The Lord Jesus preached precious messages;
The Kingdom of Heaven was open to all ages!
No one is too young or too old to enter therein;
No one would be denied if there is repentance of sin.
The Lord Jesus possessed power to heal anyone;
His Miracles cannot be gainsaid or outdone!
Many sought Him out most diligently;
They recognised His awesome authority.
But were there limits to His power in ministry?
Was there something over which He had no authority?
A paralytic had been brought to the Lord Jesus;
The Lord knew that his greater need was righteousness.
Sin stood in the way and it had to be addressed and forgiven;
Without forgiveness he cannot hope to enter into Heaven.
The Lord Jesus gently but with great joy proclaimed;
The sins of the paralytic had been forgiven in His name!
