“[referring to the paralytic in Luke 5:17-26] The man walks away with a lightness in his step and praise on his lips, for in one encounter with Jesus, he receives both the healing he wanted but didn't dare hope for and the forgiveness he desperately needed but didn't know to ask for. Jesus altered the course of his life, and he walked home no longer a slave to fear but loudly praising God.” HopeJesusFearHealingForgivenessPraiseNeedAlteredEncounter Book:Uncovering the Love of Jesus: A Lent Devotional Source: Uncovering the Love of Jesus: A Lent Devotional
