Jordan - Matthew 9

"Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said, 'Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts?  Which is easier: to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'?  But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.'"

Ya know, if someone were to ask me which is easier, heal a paralyzed man or forgive sins.  First, I would probably laugh thinking it was a joke and then guess the latter.  Nothing could harder than healing the sick!  But I realize that this answer only jumps out at me because I already have a savior who died to save me from sin.  He died!  And now I am spoiled enough to think that forgiving of sins is easier than making the lame walk with a touch of the hand.  What a gift God gave us in Jesus and in eternal grace!
