Thy Strong Word From Kfuo Radio

“Son, your sins are forgiven.” With this shocking declaration, Jesus shifts the focus from physical paralysis to spiritual brokenness, even daring to call this sinful man, “Son.” In this episode of The Magnificent 37, we witness Jesus proclaiming the Word of God and preaching the Gospel as well as the extraordinary faith of friends who tear open a roof to bring a paralyzed man to Jesus when the crowds were too big. Instead of simply healing the man, Jesus forgives him, revealing that His primary mission is to absolve sin. This miracle challenges the religious leaders (who can forgive sin but God alone?!) and proves that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins, demonstrating that true healing begins with reconciliation with God.  The Rev. John Lukomski, pastor emeritus and co-host of Wrestling with the Basics on KFUO Radio, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Mark 2:1-12.  Thy Strong Word kicks off the new year by dedicating our time to study "The Magnificent 37: The Miracles of Jesus." C
