Mark 2:1-12
In this passage Jesus heals a paralytic as a result of his faith, and at the same time makes it clear that it is also the scribes that might need to seek healing as well in their hearts. The witnesses question Jesus' authority to perform such miracles, and as usual, His response is one that challenges their worldview. Jesus asks that they see what just happened through a new lens, one that embraces a new covenant of faith and forgiveness.
We are told that the witnesses are amazed. That they have been able to open up, even through their doubt and all of their pre-conceived notions, to the new word.
What if we were all more open to the mysterious ways that God works in our lives?
