Broadcast<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Be of Good Cheer - Part 2\n Matthew 9:2\n 10\/13\/2026\n\n\n 2 And behold, some people brought to him a\n paralytic, lying on a bed. And when Jesus saw\n their faith, he said to the paralytic, ``Take\n heart, my son; your sins are forgiven.'' (ESV)\n\n The message Jesus proclaimed was simple, repent for the\n kingdom of heaven is at hand. He calls on all people to\n recognize that they have sinned, have ignored God and harmed\n their neighbors. In confessing, He asks us to trust that He has\n already paid the price of our transgressions.\n\n This week's prayer reinforces our understanding that only by\n God's grace, mercy, and goodness can we do what is pleasing in\n His sight. Our good works are a response to His love shown in\n Christ Jesus.\n Almighty and merciful God, of Your bountiful goodness\n keep from us all things that may hurt us that we, being\n ready in both body and soul, may cheerfully accomplish\n whatever You would have us to do.\n\n\n Jesus had returned to Capernaum having traveled around\n Galilee teaching and healing the sick.\n And behold, some people brought to him a paralytic,\n lying on a bed. And when Jesus saw their faith, he said\n to the paralytic, ``Take heart, my son; your sins are\n forgiven.''\n\n\n All people understand that there are consequences to sin,\n even if they do not believe in the Triune God. Someone who was\n paralyzed would agonize over the cause of his illness. He would\n be terrified of dying, for he would know he was condemned. Jesus\n took away that fear.\n\n May our Lord take away our fear of death by proclaiming that\n we also are forgiven. Amen.\n<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"October 13, 2026 Broadcast Be of Good Cheer – Part 2 Matthew 9:2 10\/13\/2026 2 And behold, some people brought to him a paralytic, lying on a bed.
