Be Encouraged by God's Word
Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Stand up and take your mat and walk’? But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins—he said to the paralytic—“I say to you, stand up, take your mat and go to your home.” And he stood up, and immediately took the mat and went out before all of them; so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”

— Mark 2:9-12, NRSV
