or to say arise and take up your bed and walk but that you may know that the son of man has power on earth to forgive sins he said to the sick of the palsy i say unto thee arise take up your bed and go your way and go back home and immediately he arose took up the bed and went forth before them all in so much that they were all amazed and they glorified god saying we never saw it done like this before hallelujah we're going to preach this morning on the subject an issue far greater than what the eye can see an issue far greater than what the eye can see let's pray father we come to you in the name of jesus we thank you god for this glorious wonderful day i stand here as your servant god prepared lord to preach your word and i'm asking you lord let it be seed to the sower and bread to the eater let your word be preached lord with love with mercy with compassion and demonstration and power the holy ghost we'll give you all of the praise in jesus name let the church say amen you may be seated just for a few moments this morning we're dealing with the subject an issue far greater than what the eye can see our text is found in mark chapter 2 verses 9 through 12. as we look at the scripture here today the bible said he entered again into capernaum so we need to research the word of god and find out what happened in capernaum before he ever got there this other time that he came what are the events that's transpired we know that not all the miracles not all the signs and wonders of christ jesus could be documented but he documented certain ones for our learning for our admonition in the lord to increase our faith to sharpen the sword of the spirit that we can lacerate the powers of darkness and live victorious in this life well the first thing we find in the in the word of god concerning the city of capernaum and i've been there many times and if you if we ever get to go back to israel and you want to go with me i've been to capernaum so many times it's it's where the rich and the wealthy lived up on the top of that hill on top of the hill the colonnade uh street is there the roman street that led the the synagogue is on one side and all the beautiful buildings are up there this is just the ruins i'm talking about now but then you got down to the sea of galilee and that's where you would find like a flea market they'd be selling fish and clothing and all kinds of different spices and different things all down around the sea of galilee but it goes up the hill so in this city called capernaum the bible said in john chapter 4 verse 46 through 54 that jesus was in cana of galilee and the scriptures tells us that this is where he did his first miracle of turning the water into wine there was a royal official there from the roman empire this is a man of high esteem a man of high authority he was a man that represented rome in the country of israel he was a royal official and he came to jesus while he was in cana of galilee and he said jesus i live in the city of capernaum i i live there but i've got a problem i heard that you were here and i need you to come to my house and pray for my son he is sick and it looks like he's going to die i need you to come jesus jesus looks at this royal official and he says will you only believe if you see signs and wonders or will you believe without the signs and wonders and the royal official just looks at him like i really don't know what you're talking about but i do want to tell you this if you don't come my son is going to die you are the only one i know of and i've heard of that is able to make the sick well that has the power of god operating through him and i need you to come jesus looked at that royal official and he said you just go ahead and go home because at this moment your son has been healed and he shall live and the bible said that that royal officer when he heard the word he believed the word and so he made his way back to capernaum which was a pretty good long distance away and when he arrived his servants met him at the gate and when they met him at the gate they said your son something happened it was at the seventh hour we can't explain it but everything changed at the snap of a finger his fever left he was totally healed and the roman official he knew he said i know exactly what happened because i was in cana of galilee and jesus told me go home because your son is going to live he knew it was at that self same hour so the reputation of christ now had reached the royal officials it had reached the entire elite community of this place called capernaum the second time we read in the scripture like i said many things are happened i'm sure but they're not documented in the scripture but the next thing we read in the scripture is jesus goes to capernaum it is on the sabbath day it is his custom to go to the synagogue and we've been to that synagogue many times big beautiful veil it's one of the most beautiful synagogues that was built during the time of christ it was in this executive type place called capernaum in this very rich place called capernaum and jesus goes in there into the synagogue they're all he's teaching from the word of god they're handing scrolls and he's talking about the word and the power of the word he's talking about the psalms and the prophets and all at once the bible said that there was a man that had come that day he was possessed with demons demon powers took control of his life and all at once those demonic powers began to manifest and they began to speak through this man and they screamed with a loud voice right in the middle of that church service there they said let us alone let us alone what have we to do with you jesus you are jesus of nazareth what have you come to do have you come to destroy us the reason why he's using those plural pronouns we and us is because the man was possessed with many many demonic spirits he and he said i know who you are the demonic powers begin to speak you are the holy one of god jesus let him talk for a little bit and then he looked at the man that was possessed with the devil he said hold your peace silence i don't want to hear any more out of you and he said satan i command you to come out of this man i command you to come out of him torment him no longer set him free and the bible said immediately he went into convulsions he threw himself on the floor and then when he all when it was all over all at once the demonic spirits had left him he was free he had peace of mind and god had delivered him through the word of the lord jesus christ and the people that was there in the synagogue that day they said what a word is this he preaches with the word of god he preaches with power and the bible said from that moment on the fame of him went out everywhere everyone in capernaum they knew that jesus had touched the official son they knew now he had cast the demons out of a man that was possessed in the synagogue right in front of everyone that was there now the scripture tells us a third reference before we get to our text today the third reference is found in matthew chapter 8 verses 14 and 15 and the bible said when jesus came to simon peter's house he was coming to his home and his mother-in-law was sick and she probably had malaria or some horrible type of sickness and the fever had overtaken her possibly even delirious and the bible said as she lay there with this horrible fever as she lay there seemingly lifeless jesus went over to her and he laid his hands on her and she was healed she was healed by the power of god and the bible said that simon peter's mother-in-law she got up went got herself cleaned up and went in the kitchen and started cooking and she says well we've got company i've got to take care of everybody while she's cooking dinner and while she's getting things ready in the house it was told out in the community that simon's mother-in-law has just been raised up from this bed of sickness and she is healed and the word of god said that before the sun went down in their backyard everyone in that city that heard and had enough faith to come everyone that was possessed with the devil everyone that was sick and afflictive the bible said everyone that was covered that was controlled by demonic powers that they were they were delivered and set free by the power of god and then the word of god tells us everyone that was sick not some but everyone that came that day in the backyard of simon peter's house everyone that came that was sick they left healed blinded eyes were open deaf ears were unstopped lame legs begin to walk up leprosy whatever's the sickness and the condition was it was healed by the power of god on that day in the city of capernaum now the scripture tells us in the text that i just read that jesus went back again to capernaum now these things have already happened and the rumor got out look who's coming to capernaum jesus just got off of the ship he's now landed in capernaum and the word of god said he went to a man's house had to have been a wealthy man the scripture doesn't tell us but whenever you went you see if it was just a common person their house would have a courtyard all houses had a courtyard in the middle and the rooms were built around the courtyard inside the courtyard is where they cooked is where they did the laundry it was a place where you know it didn't have a roof on it it was open air and they could do all their work in that courtyard but the wealthy had a large courtyard probably as big as the inside of this sanctuary and all of the rooms were around it the the bedrooms and all kinds of rooms of entertainment they were all around this courtyard so jesus came to i would say this wealthy man's house and it was just crowded everybody that could get in that courtyard was in there it was packed as packed as you could get it but in that meeting that day the scribes came the scribes were the officials of the israeli people that had devoted their life for the preservation of the scripture they are the ones that had given their life to watch over every jot every dot of an eye every cross of a t every curl of a j to make sure that the word of god was kept in perfect condition because they were all looking they were all waiting for this wonderful messiah to come who would be god manifest in the flesh so jesus is teaching the scripture he's they're asking him questions he's teaching the scripture the scribes are listening they're writing everything down oh this is according to moses this is according to david this is according to jeremiah this is according to isaiah the scribes are sitting there they're evaluating every second every moment of what jesus is teaching but the bible said there were four men and they had a friend we don't know how this friend got paralyzed we don't know if he had some type of a sickness that affected the nerves in his body we don't know what it was all we know is at one time he was functional at one time he was well at one time he lived a normal life just like his friends maybe he had an accident maybe he had fallen maybe he had broken a vertebrae maybe he had broken his neck of some kind and was paralyzed now he was totally helpless there was no one could help him he could not feed him could not take care of himself could not wash himself he could not transport himself he was in a desperate absolutely desperate situation but when these four men when they heard that jesus was inside the house they went to get their friend they put him on a cot they took that cot and they said we're gonna take you to jesus if he can open the blinded eyes if he can unstop the deaf ears if he can cause the lame legs to walk he is god's power and presence in this man that has come to this earth in order that the huma human race might be touched by the blessings of god so they went around went all the way around when they came to the door the crowd was so great they could not get in the door they went around the outside of the courtyard which was like a wall it was a wall built all around those those walls were about 10 feet tall and then they would begin the roof so there they are walking around with their friend i don't know what the conversation was that day the bible doesn't give us any indication what they said the bible doesn't even tell us their names all we know is they were desperate to get that man into the presence of god they were desperate to get him into the presence of god and the scripture says i don't know which one of them's idea was but they probably said we're not leaving until he sees jesus so somebody get me a ladder we're going to tear the roof off we're going to do whatever it takes because without the help of this christ without the help of this savior this man will have nothing in this life he will live in this same condition and the scripture said that they took the ladder and they went up on the roof and they begin to tear it off piece by piece by now i can see everybody in the courtyard what is going on here is this an illustration the scribes are sitting there everybody's taking notes and here comes a laying with ropes of a man on a cot he is slowly dropped down into the witnesses that are there that day now every eye is watching they know he can heal the sick they know he can open the blinded eyes they know he can make the sick to recover what's he going to do with this condition that is front of everyone and jesus looks at the man and the first thing he says is son he puts him into a relational experience with god he calls him son son he said i've got to call you in the family of god because jesus wants you to know he came for your sonship he came to give you life and to give it more abundantly the bible said he called him son and then he looked at him and he said son i know everybody's looking at your arms everybody's looking at your weak legs everybody is looking at your condition but they don't see what i see from the throne of grace they don't see that there's an element called sin that has separated the human race from a heavenly god and i come to this earth that they may have life i want them to have life and i'm going to take the sin of this world up i'm going to nail it to my cross i'm going to drop the middle wall a partition i'm going to rip that veil that separates humanity from a loving god he said they can only see the issue you have on the outside they can only see what you are experiencing in your physical body oh but man i've got something to tell you as of this moment i call you son because your sins have been forgiven your sins have been washed away your iniquities are no more your past has been deleted what you were doesn't exist anymore what you've done has been washed who you were has been taken away your sins have been cast as far as the east is from the west never to be remembered oh yeah i said oh yeah the scribes looked at him and the scribes put the pencils to the paper and they said hold it right here we know there are miracles because we know in the book of daniel that there are three men thrown into a fiery furnace but god delivered him and a fourth man walked in the fire up we know according to the book of kings that elisha raised a widow's son from the dead we know according to the scripture that name and dipped in jordan seven times and his leprosy was washed away we know that god led his people with the pillar of fire by night and a cloud by day we know that it caused water to come gushing out of a rock we know that there is no limit to god's power but there is no one on this earth that has the power to forgive sins but god but god hallelujah well if jesus were to respond he would have said you got the right answer because i'm god manifest in the flesh born of a virgin baptized by john justified in the spirit and seen of angels i have come to take away the sins of the world but jesus looked at him and he said all you can see is the external problems all you can see is the addictions all you can see is the bondage all you can see is the financial crisis all you can see is the external things but he said i see something that your eye can't see and that is the sin up that separates you from me he said which is easier to say get up and take your bed and go home or to say thy sins be forgiven but that i may announce to this world that the most important thing there is and the greatest miracle there is on this planet is having your sins washed away in the precious blood of jesus having your name written down the lamb's book of life jesus said which is easier to say thy sins be forgiven or take up your bed and go home and walk oh glory but he said i want you to know the value of your sins being taken away from you you see this morning at the early service at nine o'clock brother paul roberts he's been he comes to the nine o'clock service he sits there in the wheelchair has to come in a special vehicle he has the gift of healing i know that he might be feeble in his body right now but i just about paid him a visit the other day i would pray for him but i was going to say paul i know that you're waiting for your miracle but until you get it i need you to pray for this pain in the back because you've got the gift of healing and signs and wonders that are in you it's not determined on the condition that you're in right now hallelujah but i've i told paul at the nine o'clock service i said paul we're going to believe with you and we're going to believe with steve back here that there's a day coming for the signs and wonders of god as a testimony to this sick world this atheistic world this world that's defying the word of god that god's gonna give us some signs and wonders that will be printed in the paper that will go on the news that look what the lord has done [Applause] hallelujah but this is what i told paul i said paul even though we know that god can do it even though we know that god is all-powerful we're going to take the same testimony that shadrach meshach and abednego had god i know you're able to deliver but if you don't i'll never bow down to this world system and i said paul let me tell you something if you never jump out of that wheelchair in this world if you never receive the healing that we desire and we're believing for the greatest miracle is your sins are under the blood and one of these days you're going to step out of mortality into immortality you're going to step out of corruption into incorruption you're going to step out of this world into the world to come because you ask me why i'm happy i'll just tell you why because my sins are gone yeah i say hey oh glory jesus said i want to put this miracle business in order i want everybody to know you're rejoicing because of blinded eyes being opened up and deaf ears being unstopped you're rejoicing because leprosy has been cleansed you're rejoicing because lame legs are beginning to walk but you don't see it like i see it and if you saw it like i see it you know that your life is temporal you're only here for just a short season ah but eternity eternity is gonna tell the difference and the greatest miracle and the greatest power and the greatest rejoicing of don't rejoice because demons are subject unto you but rejoice because your names are written in heaven i got something i can shout about my salvation when i'm sick i can shout about my salvation when i'm poor i can shout about salvation when i have little i can shout about my salvation when i have much i can shout about my salvation because could nobody would nobody do me like jesus i said nobody could do me like jesus oh let's give him praise hallelujah [Applause] hallelujah hallelujah is anybody under that same condition has anybody been to calvary's fountain has anybody been to that fountain filled with blood that's drawn from emmanuel's veins oh glory to god glory to god jeremy it's about time for a shout out there it goes hallelujah [Music] [Applause] oh bless the lord forevermore let's all stand together oh yes an issue you know the trouble of this generation is that if they if they haven't murdered 10 people spent 16 years in prison [Music] they don't think they have a sin issue [Music] sin isn't and that's because they don't know the bible it's just that simple sin isn't based on how much good and how much bad you do you were born into it your environment will determine your environment your environment will determine certain things you know you can look you lift your head up say hey i'm a good person i don't do anything you know i don't kill anybody but then you can look at somebody's been in prison but yet their mother was a prostitute and they were raped five six times before they was ever 12 years old and you think well you know they're in there because look what kind of a person they are just because you was raised in an environment that kept you from a lot of stuff don't mean you don't have a sin problem you were born into it you were born with it and the only way to eradicate it is by that wonderful
