Hebrews 4:1-5,11, Ps.78, Mark 2:1-12

Forgiveness

Our greatest need, greater than any physical need, is God’s forgiveness. This is clearly illustrated by today’s Gospel reading. It’s given pre-eminence in the Lord’s Prayer. The more we realise our need for God’s forgiveness, the greater our love for God will be (see Luke 7:36-50).
