One of the things that strikes me about the story is that the paralyzed man was not asked what sins he had committed or asked to confess any sins. Yet he was forgiven.
When I was in hospital with Covid and stood at heaven’s gate expecting to say good bye to this world and step into eternity, a wave of forgiveness and confidence of salvation swept over me. No questions, no lists, no remembering, just forgiveness.
The story you just told reminded me of that experience. Total forgiveness is a wonderful thing.

Wow Jules. No questions! Grace is so radical, it can be shocking.
“It’s not the circumstances that define us. It’s what comes out of our heart.” What a true statement!
