Open Heaven of Tuesday 30th July 2013. SIN IS A BAD PAINTER Memorise: For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23 Read: Mark 2:1-12 And again He entered Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that He was in the house. Immediately[a] 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. Then they came to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men. 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. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.” And some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, "Why does this Man speak blasphemies like this? Who can forgive sins but God alone?” But immediately, when Jesus perceived in His spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, He said to them, “Why do you reason about these things in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise, take up your bed and walk’? But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the paralytic, "I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.” Immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went out in the presence of them all, so that all were amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!” Message "Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day." Genesis 1:31 After creation, God saw that all He made were very good. There was no sickness, death, sorrow or lack. All you could find was blessing, fruitfulness, multiplication, longevity, dominion and abundance until sin came. What was once very good became very bad. Sin can change the colour of events, situations and circumstances from bright and beautiful colours to dark and repulsive ones. It is so powerful that it destroyed the whole human race. However as powerful as it is, forgiveness is much more powerful. Forgiveness restores the bright pictures of your life, turns the tide of life and destiny of a sinner. Come to Jesus today and receive the forgiveness He is offering. Prayer point: Father, every negative colour sin has painted my life and destiny with, change it into something glorious.
