  Good morning, dear students.

• 00:03 - 00:03

  How are you today?

• 00:04 - 00:06

  In today's video, we're going to talk about Jesus heals

• 00:07 - 00:08

  and for gifts of paralyzed man.

• 00:09 - 00:11

  Of course, we decided to talk about this because we

• 00:11 - 00:15

  were talking about healing examples of people that were healed

• 00:15 - 00:16

  by Jesus and by God.

• 00:18 - 00:20

  And in our text we have an example of John

• 00:20 - 00:23

  Raja and we read the text and we went over

• 00:23 - 00:26

  its okay with many discussion questions in the You see

• 00:26 - 00:29

  now we're going to take another example of the healing.

• 00:31 - 00:35

  We're also going to be talking about what it feels

• 00:35 - 00:39

  like to be healed and the meaning of miracles.

• 00:40 - 00:41

  So let's start off together.

• 00:42 - 00:45

  Okay? Jesus healed a paralyzed man.

• 00:46 - 00:49

  Now this miracle reflects the idea that people shouldn't just

• 00:49 - 00:50

  follow society.

• 00:51 - 00:53

  They should make their own path and help others that

• 00:54 - 00:54

  need it.

• 00:55 - 00:57

  Regardless of what people think and say about the situation,

• 00:59 - 01:03

  they should have faith and believe, even when others don't

• 01:03 - 01:04

  want you to.

• 01:05 - 01:06

  So it's your common sense.

• 01:07 - 01:07

  It's your conscience.

• 01:09 - 01:11

  It is your decision to help others.

• 01:15 - 01:18

  How would Jesus time?

• 01:18 - 01:24

  How would Jesus have understood the miracle Jews from the

• 01:24 - 01:27

  time of Jesus would have understood it as a situation

• 01:28 - 01:30

  where Jesus was doing things for the right reasons because

• 01:30 - 01:33

  he was helping and sticking up for others that needed.

• 01:34 - 01:36

  There may have been other people who did not understand

• 01:36 - 01:38

  why Jesus was doing what he did.

• 01:39 - 01:42

  They might have judged him for helping a paralyzed man,

• 01:43 - 01:44

  just like in the miracle.

• 01:44 - 01:46

  There were also people who did not believe he could

• 01:46 - 01:49

  heal until the man got up and walked.

• 01:50 - 01:53

  They were doubtful that he could do anything to help

• 01:53 - 01:53

  the man.

• 01:54 - 01:57

  So everybody was shocked when Jesus actually healed the man

• 01:58 - 01:59

  and he stood up and he started walking.

• 02:02 - 02:06

  So you can tell that Luke wrote it because he

• 02:06 - 02:09

  talks about Jesus as helping the people that are in

• 02:09 - 02:13

  need. Major themes that look expresses include the idea that

• 02:13 - 02:14

  Jesus does not exclude.

• 02:16 - 02:18

  He helped everyone who needed to be helped, whether they

• 02:19 - 02:22

  were women men, poor or sick.

• 02:23 - 02:24

  So he doesn't discriminate between people.

• 02:24 - 02:25

  Anybody that needs help.

• 02:26 - 02:30

  Jesus. Well, he shows Jesus in a very positive light

• 02:30 - 02:31

  as wanting to help the less fortunate.

• 02:32 - 02:36

  In this case, it is a paralyzed man in this

• 02:36 - 02:42

  miracle, if faith is a central requirement for a miracle.

• 02:42 - 02:46

  How does each recipient demonstrate faith for before or doing

• 02:46 - 02:47

  their request?

• 02:48 - 02:51

  In the parable, Jesus said to the paralyzed man that

• 02:51 - 02:55

  Hiss sins are forgiving when he says that some men

• 02:55 - 02:58

  questioned his authority by saying Onley, God can forgive people

• 02:59 - 03:00

  of their sins on Earth.

• 03:01 - 03:03

  Jesus then says the son of God has the authority.

• 03:04 - 03:07

  He then tells the paralyzed man that his sins are

• 03:07 - 03:10

  forgiven and to go get up and take his math.

• 03:11 - 03:13

  The paralyzed man gets up and walks away in front

• 03:14 - 03:14

  of the whole crowd.

• 03:14 - 03:18

  So the crowd doubted him at the beginning of being

• 03:18 - 03:21

  a healer, of being someone that can actually do miracles

• 03:23 - 03:24

  and that only God can heal.

• 03:24 - 03:27

  But he said, me being the son of God, I

• 03:27 - 03:29

  can actually also do that, and I have the authority

• 03:30 - 03:30

  to do that.

• 03:30 - 03:32

  And then he told the paralyzed man to get up

• 03:33 - 03:34

  and carry his mat.

• 03:37 - 03:40

  How do they demonstrate change after this experience of Jesus?

• 03:41 - 03:44

  When the paralyzed man walks away with his math and

• 03:44 - 03:47

  the crowd and teachers see this, they learn to have

• 03:47 - 03:50

  faith. They also learned that they, too, can forgive people,

• 03:51 - 03:57

  not just God, miracles are demonstrations of God's kingdom.

• 03:58 - 04:00

  How does your miracle reflect these realities?

• 04:01 - 04:05

  The miracle reflects God's promise of unconditional love because Jesus

• 04:06 - 04:07

  heals and forgives the paralyzed man.

• 04:08 - 04:10

  He does not care that the man is paralyzed or

• 04:10 - 04:11

  what sins he has committed.

• 04:12 - 04:15

  The miracle reflect Scots commitment to the poor people and

• 04:15 - 04:19

  outcasts of society by Jesus healing the paralyzed man, Jesus

• 04:20 - 04:22

  is helping a man who is considered an outcast at

• 04:22 - 04:23

  that time.

• 04:24 - 04:27

  The miracle reflects God's complete control over the power of

• 04:27 - 04:28

  sin and evil.

• 04:28 - 04:31

  By testing the teachers in the crowd of faith attempt,

• 04:32 - 04:37

  the miracle reflects God's offer of complete reconciliation by forgiving

• 04:37 - 04:40

  the paralyzed man of all of his sins.

• 04:40 - 04:44

  No matter what the sins are, the miracle reflects God's

• 04:45 - 04:49

  presence incarnated in Jesus of the history because Jesus is

• 04:49 - 04:52

  the one who's performing God's tasks on Earth by forgiving

• 04:52 - 04:57

  people. So, everybody, we have reached the end of our
