When Jesus saw their faith, he said, ‘Friend, your sins are forgiven.’ (Luke 5:20, NIV)
Jesus has been preaching and teaching in various towns and villages. He has healed the sick, and cast out demons. Here we see something new - Jesus forgives sins. Why is this so important, and why is it so amazing?
Wednesday Prayer @ 10am
This Wednesday, at 10am, we’ll meet in St Andrew for a service of Morning Prayer.
We’ll be finished in time to join the Coffee Shop at 10:30.
I hope that this email is useful, and that you are able to spend a few minutes at noon each day, as we pray together as a church family. Please do keep sending your prayer suggestions to me, so that we can make sure we are praying around the needs, burdens and encouragements of our whole church family.
When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, ‘Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!’ For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon’s partners. (Luke 5:8-10, NIV)
What amazes you about Jesus? Peter, James and John were all astonished by the miraculous catch of fish that Jesus provided for them. So much so, that they left everything and followed him. Does anything amaze you that much about Jesus?
