WHEN JESUS ASKS THE QUESTION : Which is easier to say: Your sins are forgiven, or take up your bed and walk?

Preached by Brother Steve Dalros

Jesus’ question, “Which is easier to say: ‘Your sins are forgiven’ or ‘Take up your bed and walk?’” shows that spiritual truths, even though we can’t see them, can still be known for sure. Healing someone is something you can see happen right away, but forgiving sins is something inside a person and invisible. Jesus uses miracles to show He has the power to forgive sins and to help people understand spiritual truth. This reminds us that not everything true is always something we can see or touch.

The Bible says we can know spiritual truth through faith, feeling the Holy Spirit’s presence, and seeing how it changes our lives. Jesus invites us to trust in Him and the deeper truths He teaches—truths that are proven by His coming back to life and felt inside by those who believe. Knowing spiritual things doesn’t always come from proof you can show others, but from a real, personal connection with God. Jesus shows us we can both believe and know for sure.
