Bible Story:
Mark 2:1-28Because we are sinners, we need someone to rescue us from our sin. We cannot save ourselves. We see an example of this in Mark 2, when a paralytic’s friends bring him to Jesus. Jesus sees their faith and he heals the paralyzed man both spiritually and physically. The paralytic needed rescue, and he couldn’t do anything to help himself out of his condition. This is how we are in our sin, but Jesus is our Rescuer.
