Not only were the sins of the invalid forgiven, with a new spiritual life; but he was physically healed, giving him a new physical life. Meanwhile, the teachers of the law were thinking, “This cannot be, only God can forgive sins!” Letting them know He had the ability to understand their thoughts, He assured them that the Son of Man had the authority to forgive sins. It was an amazing day for those that witnessed this event. [Reflection is based on the Bible Reference – Mark 2:6-12]
