Read: Mark 2:1-12 “So he said to the man, ‘I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.’ He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying, ‘We have never seen anything like this!’” Mark 2: 10b-12 (NIV) There’s a familiar old story that’s told about a tightrope walker who did incredible stunts. All over Paris, he would do tightrope acts at tremendously scary heights. Then, he would do it blindfolded, pushing a wheelbarrow. As the story goes, there was an American promoter who read about this in the newspapers and wrote a letter to the tightrope walker, saying, “Tightrope walker, I don’t believe you can do it, but I’m willing to make you an offer. For a very substantial sum of money, besides all your transportation fees, I would like to challenge you to do your act over Niagara Falls.” The tightrope walker wrote back and said, “Sir, I’d love to come.”

Well, after a lot of promotion and setting the whole thing up, a crowd of people came to see the event. The tightrope walker was to start on the Canadian side and come over to the American side on this rope suspended over the falls. After a suspenseful drum roll, he came across blindfolded. The crowds went wild, and he came to the promoter and says, “Well, Mr. Promoter, now do you believe I can do it?” He said, “Well of course I do. I mean, I just saw you do it.” “No,” said the tightrope walker, “do you really believe I can do it?” “Well of course I do, you just did it.” “No, no, no,” said the tightrope walker, “do you believe I can do it?” “Yes,” said Mr. Promoter, “I believe you can do it.” “Good,” said the tightrope walker, “then get in the wheelbarrow.”

Many people in the house saw Jesus heal the paralytic. The man got up from his mat and walked. But Jesus did more than that; as well as healing the man physically, Jesus healed him from his sins. This offended many and they could not believe it. Jesus has the ability to heal and forgive all our wrongdoings and sins and we can go ahead each day with a clean slate. Do you believe this? Would you get into Jesus’ wheelbarrow?

Prayer: Lord Jesus, I know that you love me. I know that you forgive me all my sins each and every day. Give me the faith to trust and believe it. Amen.
