Forgiveness

I've now had my Criminal Law exam. It went pretty well and I'm relieved. Now I have to prepare for the Contract Law exam on Thursday.

This morning, before I went to the exam, I read Luke 5; 17-26, which is the story of the paralyzed man lowered down to Jesus from the roof of the house. What I noticed was this: Jesus, on seeing their faith, said: "Friend, your sins are forgiven you." Jesus first forgave the persons sins and but then also healed the mans paralysis. It struck me that the forgiveness of sins was much greater than the healing.

I have been praying for help in my exams, but Jesus has something much better to offer: forgiveness of sins and a new heart made of flesh!
