Hello everyone! My name is Elise Brooklyn and this is Scattering Flowers, a podcast where we scatter flowers of faith.
I’m so happy to be with you reading the Daily Gospels together.
Let’s get started! Today is Friday, January 17th, and we will be reading Mark 2, 1-12.
Follow along in your Bible if you have one.
Now let’s read Mark 2, 1-12.
And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, Child, your sins are forgiven.
Now some of the scribes who are sitting there questioning in their hearts, why does this man speak like this?
It is a blasphemy.
No one can forgive sins but God alone.
And immediately Jesus perceiving in his spirit that they question like this within themselves and said to them, why do you question this in your hearts?
Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, your sins are forgiven, or to say, rise up in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Amen! Thank you so much for listening.
I’ll be back next week scattering more flowers.
See ya!
