Jesus saw in this unseemly and I'M
usual act an expression of much conf
dence in him ON the part of the para
lytic and of his four friends on the
roof. They were sure that he could
heal, and so they did not hesitate as to
how the patient could be brought to
him. Thy sins be forgiven thee" bet
ter, "are receiving forgiveness" This
experience of divine grace was to be
continuous. Matthew prefaces this an
nouncement of pardon with the words.
"Be of good cheer" His sickness had
doubtless been occasioned by sinful
excesses, or it may be that he shared
the prevalent belief that sickness vas
due to sin. Jesus spoke first to his

doubtless thought that the message of
forgiveness was easier than the mira

dated himself to their defective con

fully justified his speech to the para
lytic. Indeed. to say "be forgiven" i'm

Jesus would doubtless have uttered

reflections of the scribeS. But he took
occasion therefrom to make clear the
purpose of his mission. Immediately

healing was spoken the man sprang to
his feet, hale and hearty. and marched
through the audience, who made way

Pharisees and doctors of the law were
confused and baftled. but the people
saw the hand of God in this spiritual
and physical miracle and "gloriied
