1 Samuel 8:4-7, 10-22; Ps 89; Mark 2:1-12

Your sins are forgiven

Towards the end of Samuel’s life, the Israelites rejected God from ruling over them. They thought they knew best. That’s what sin is, really. Rejecting God, choosing self above others, because we know best … and yet, when we come to our senses, God forgives. What a blessing it is, to be forgiven!
