Mark 2:1-5
And again, He entered Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that He was in the house. 2 Immediately many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And He preached the word to them. 3 Then they came to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men. 4 And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. So, when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying.
5 When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”


Can you even imagine a God so loving and compassionate that He would forgive your sins based on faith in Him? That He would extend His amazing grace to you because He has unconditional love for you? A God like that is truly a God worth serving.

The unconditional love and grace of Jesus didn't end in that house with that man. Jesus loves us so much that He took that love to the cross with Him. He endured the brutal Roman practice of crucifixion, and at the end awaited the cross. They drove spikes through His hands and through His feet, and as He hung there bleeding on the cross, the compassion, love and grace never left His eyes or heart. And when uttered the words, "It is finished," He gave up His spirit and His blood washed over the sins of the world.

HE LOVES YOU AND ME THAT MUCH!

When he conquered death and rose three days later, He defeated eternal death forever. If you will only accept this incredible gift of salvation that He offers, then this life will truly mean something. He made us an eternal promise in John 14:3.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
