Opposition

When a paralyzed man is lowered through a roof to reach Jesus, the crowd expects healing—but Jesus first offers forgiveness, sparking outrage among the religious leaders. In Mark 2, we see His authority to forgive sins, His call to outcasts, His announcement of a new way of life, and His claim as Lord of the Sabbath. This chapter invites us to break through barriers in faith, embrace the new work of God, and follow Christ with open hands and willing hearts.
