The Church Unleashed

Mark 2:1-12

Mark 2:17 “It is not the healthy who need a doctor; it’s those who are sick.” The message of the church is “I have not come to call the righteous, but I have come to call the sinners.” That was Jesus’ mission.

Jesus had returned to His headquarters and settled for His ministry in Capernaum. He was teaching a very large group of people when some men came, bringing to Him a paralyzed man. Because they were unable to take him inside, they cut a hole in the roof and lowered him down in front of Jesus.

Let’s look at five different types of individuals who were probably present that day:

  1. Those in need.
  2. Those who care.
  3. Those who are preoccupied.
  4. Those who are critical. Mark 2:6.
  5. Those who are changed by the mercy and grace of God.

The power of God has met their needs. The mercy and grace of God have redeemed them.

The Bible says, “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old is gone and everything is now new.”

The church is an intensive care unit where we say, “However you are, in whatever condition, come in and you’ll find the answer, the miracle, the person whose name is Jesus Christ.”
