A Man with a Need

As Jesus’ reputation as a healer and teacher grew, crowds gathered to be near Him. Friends of a paralyzed man, hoping for a miracle, brought him to see the miracle worker Himself. Although the man had a clear physical need, Jesus first addressed his greater spiritual need. Alistair Begg reminds us that while we often look for temporal solutions to the brokenness we experience, only Jesus has the authority and ability to address our greatest need: the forgiveness of our sins.
