This Week’s Bible Story
Jesus Heals the Paralyzed Man (Luke 5:17-26) Jesus did not just say that He was God. Jesus showed that He was God. Jesus forgave sins and performed miracles (like healing the man who could not walk). Jesus did things that only God can do. Faith is believing in and trusting something or someone completely. The friends who lowered the paralyzed man through the roof had faith that Jesus could heal. We can have faith in Jesus’ power today, too.
