Mark 2:8-9 -- On Forgiveness and Healing

"And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?"
Mark 2:8-9


I like that when Christ saw their faith that he forgave his sins, and the healing was more of an afterthought... not unimportant, but as Jesus makes clear, the lesser miracle. Maybe today we can think about how we prioritize physical and spiritual health. While both are important, ;et's make sure we are putting our spiritual health at the top of the list. :)
