“Christ’s Power To Forgive”
Tuesday, March 11, 2025Key Verse
“But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins,” Matthew 9:6a
Text — Matthew 9:2-7
Message
The major reason why Jesus came into this world was to die for the sins of every boy and girl. No one on earth has the power to forgive sins, only Jesus has the power.
According to our Bible passage, a paralyzed man was brought to Jesus for healing. Immediately Jesus said to him “Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee”. The people around him were surprised that Christ did not immediately pray for the sick man but rather asked that his sins be forgiven him. This is because the origin of sickness and diseases is sin. The sinner has to first be forgiven before healing can come to the body.
If you remain in your sins, you cannot receive healing from sickness, success in examination, protection from all evil, promotion, provision, prosperity and finally eternal life. Repentance is the only key to unlocking God’s blessings, that is the only way Christ can have fellowship with you. Repent today and do not let the purpose while Christ came into this world be defeated in your life.
