This is the aftermath of the healing of this Paralysed man. Since Jesus healed on the Sabbath the religious leaders who were already being threatened by the miracles and the growing popularity of Jesus decided that it was time to go on the attack against Jesus. 3 things i point out regarding religion vs true faith in Jesus... 1/ Law vs Spirit 2/ Regulations vs Life 3/ Form vs true power to live this life. We can strive to do good, to live right but i look at what it means to have rest internally in Jesus (Matthew 11:28-30)

Just one more thing i will add to my notes here. Jesus healed this man without identifying Himself but later when there was no crowd around He did. Jesus cares not only about the crowds but He cares about every individual. That includes you. Why don't you reach out to Him today? I trust you enjoyed this series and made personal application to yourself. God bless

The paralysed man had to make a choice whether he was going to accept what he always had. That he would be paralysed for life. Or was he going to accept the life changing words that Jesus was offering him to 1/Rise 2/Take up his bed 3/Walk. Jesus never helped him up. This man had to, by faith, take these 3 commands for himself and do it. HE DID! I want to finish this note by quoting Philippians 4:13. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

Was this paralysed man going to receive healing from Jesus. Jesus asked a simple question. Do you want to be made well. Instead of yes or no he gave excuses. When Jesus speaks to us do we accept what is or do we step out in Faith. Do we accept God's word or do we just go with our heart belief on our lives and circumstances? Today we start to look at this question.
