Jesus stepped into a boat, crossed over and came to his own town. 2 Some men brought to him a paralyzed man, lying on a mat.
When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, “Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.”
3 At this, some of the teachers of the law said to themselves, “This fellow is blaspheming!”
4 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said, “Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts? 5 Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?
6 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.”
So he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, take your mat and go home.”
7 Then the man got up and went home.
8 When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe; and they praised God, who had given such authority to man.
Other gospel accounts of healing do not mention the forgiveness of sins as if this were a necessary means to physical restoration; it is faith rather than forgiveness which is the normal requisite.
We can only speculate as to whether in this case Jesus was aware of what we would call a psychosomatic element in the man’s condition, or whether we should understand Jesus as addressing a separate spiritual problem of which the man’s friends may have been unaware.
Sin and disability are linked in this story in that the curing of the latter will be taken as proof of authority to deal with the former, but this does not in itself require us to regard the paralysis as caused by the sin which Jesus forgives, even though many of those present would probably have so understood it.
Mat 9
INTRODUCTION
Right at the beginning of Mathews gospel we are told
In any event, Matthew’s focus remains Christological.
Jesus continues to appear as one with divine authority.
Just as Jesus exercised Yahweh’s sovereignty over wind and waves and demonstrated his superiority over Satan’s minions, so now he displays the very authority of God to forgive sins.

A fundamental error that our culture believes- We are all just good people trying our best.
Big Idea - The greatest display of Authority and Power and it is also the most relevant to you and to me.
- “For all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God”
Psalm 14: 1-3 -   The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is none who does good.
The Lord looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God.
They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one.
They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds;
there is none who does good.
2  The Lord looks down from heaven on the children of man,
to see if there are any who understand,

3  They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt;
there is none who does good,
not even one.

A fundamental error that our culture believes-
“We are all just good people underneath, trying our best.
That we make mistakes.
The Culture does not understand the gravity of fallen condition.”
or when we mess up our favourite sayings is “we are only human”
Obama - “People must learn to hate, and, if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart.”
Does it?
Does it really?
Nobody doubts that people can be taught to hate and even to love, but If love comes more “naturally” tho the human heart then why is the world so very broken, and messed up?
If love is more natural then why is the world becoming more wicked?
The Bible takes a very different point of view, we have inherited a “sinful nature,” a fallen nature inherited from Adam and Eve, a disposition and proclivity to rebelling against God the source of all love from our very.

- We all like sheep have gone astray, each of us turned our on way and the Lord has laid on him the inquity of us all.
For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.
14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law.
15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.)
16 This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.
9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men r 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And that is what some of you were.
But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

I have to convince you why this is a bigger deal than you realise, we dont understand the offence of Sin.
We just dont get it in our culture.

Use the Law to convict -
I am the Lord thy God! Thou shalt have no other Gods but me!
Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain!
How would you feel if the world to your personal name ans used it as a curse to express disgust, filth, disapproval, shock.
Thou shalt keep the Sabbath Day holy!
A day set a side in the week to come and rest with God and join his people in playing and praying to his Glory.
Thou shalt honor father and mother!
Thou shalt not Murder!
(Jesus Elevates)
Thou shalt not commit adultery!
(Jesus Elevates)
Thou shalt not steal!
(How many murders to become a murderer)
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour!
Telling Lies, !
Do not let thyself lust after thy neighbor’s wife!
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, nor his farm, nor his cattle, nor anything that is his!
nor his farm, nor his cattle, nor anything that is his!
