1 Chronicles 7:1-40; Ezekiel 10:1-22; John 2:23-3:21

“But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the man who was paralyzed, “I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.” Luke 5:24 NKJV

The Lord Jesus had power to forgive sins, but the Pharisees wanted proof. The Lord answered with a question, “For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?” (Matt. 9:5), and provided that proof. The man rose up, forgiven, and went on his way, glorifying God. The world is still looking for proof—in our lives. —Rex Trogdon

You are writing a Gospel, a chapter each day
By deeds that you do, by words that you say.
Men read what you write, words faithful or true;
Say, what is the Gospel according to you? —Paul Gilbert
