Who can forgive sins, but God alone? But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts? Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins (he said unto the sick of the palsy), I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house. And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.

| Preaching [18] | The True Aim of Preaching - "Paul’s
mode of preaching, as illustrated by this chapter, was first of all to
appeal to the understanding with a clear exposition of doctrinal truth, and
then to impress that truth, upon the emotions of his hearers with earnest
and forcible exhortations. This is an excellent model for all preachers and
evangelists. They must not give exhortation without doctrine, for, if so,
they will be like men who are content with “blanks” in their guns, they will
have the smoke and the noise but no power. It is the doctrine we preach, the
bullet we deliver, which God will make a power to bless men and women.
However intense and zealous we may be in speaking, if we don’t have
something weighty and solid to say, we will appear to be intense about
nothing, and will not be at all likely to create a lasting impression."
