The Functional Saviour (Mark 2:1-12) | Gospel of New Beginnings E8 | Jonathan Shanks NorthernLife Sermons
-
- Christianity
A "functional saviour" is what you most deeply need to live. Mark 2:1-12 records a story that illustrates the false functional saviours we can have. A man is lowered through the roof down to Jesus to fix what he thinks is his most pressing need (his paralysis), only to have Jesus forgive the man's sins. Jesus knew what the man really needed most of all—a saviour.
Confronted with His greatest need,
Comforted with the gift and mystery of faith,
Encountered a real saviour who does what is harder.
