Matthew 9:1-4

 Matthew 9:1 And getting into a boat he crossed over and came to his own city. 2 And behold, some people brought to him a paralytic, lying on a bed. 

And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Take heart, my son; your sins are forgiven.” 3 And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming.” 

4 But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts? For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’? But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he then said to the paralytic—“Rise, pick up your bed and go home.” 

Jesus was more interested in healing the disease of the man’s soul, than of his body…the fatal disease called sin, ending in death (eternal separation from Go): It was for this reason that He (Jesus) came into the world.(John12:27)

Bless the Lord, O my soul,
    and forget not all his benefits,
who forgives all your iniquity,
    who heals all your diseases,

who redeems your life from the pit,
    who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,     (Psalm 103:2-4)

How can we walk in the miracles of Jesus without the Gospel of Repentance - the two go hand in hand. For surely, the greatest, truest sign and wonder I have ever seen is a sinner who has been truly saved. John14:12
