When Jesus Goes Deeper Than Your Need

What would you do if you were desperate to get to Jesus? In Mark 2:1–12, four friends tear through a roof to bring their paralyzed friend to Jesus — and what Jesus says next shocks everyone. Instead of starting with healing, He starts with forgiveness. This message reminds us that Jesus doesn’t just fix what hurts — He heals what’s broken. He cares about your pain, but He came for your soul. If you’ve ever wondered, “Who does Jesus think He is?” — this sermon invites you to see that He’s more than a healer. He’s the Son of Man with authority to forgive sins and transform lives.
