BRINGING THE LOST TO JESUS
Mk 2:1-12
Mark 2:1-12 “And again he entered into
Capernaum after some days; and it was noised
that he was in the house. And straightway…
Mark 2:1-12 …many were gathered together,
insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about
the door: and he…
Mark 2:1-12 …preached the word unto them. And
they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne
of four. And when they…
Mark 2:1-12 …could not come nigh unto him for
the press, they uncovered the roof
where he was: and when they had broken it up…
Mark 2:1-12 …they let down the bed wherein
the sick of the palsy lay. When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the
sick of the palsy, Son…
Mark 2:1-12 …thy sins be forgiven thee. But there
were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
Why doth this man…
Mark 2:1-12 …thus speak blasphemies? who can
forgive sins but God only? And immediately
when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so…
Mark 2:1-12 …reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why
reason ye these things in your hearts? Whether is it easier to say to the…
Mark 2:1-12 …sick of the palsy, Thy sins be
forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy
bed, and walk? But that ye may know that the…
Mark 2:1-12 …Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)
I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed…
Mark 2:1-12 …and go thy way into thine house. And immediately he
arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch…
Mark 2:1-12 …that they were all amazed, and
glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this
fashion”
Business of the church is to bring sinners to
Jesus.We should be placing
great emphasis on reaching the lost.
THERE WAS A CROWDMark 2:2
The place was full of people.
1. A Few Observations:
Mark 2:2 “And straightway many were gathered
together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the
door: and he preached the word unto them”
Lets focus on the four that brought
the sick of the palsy to Jesus.
THE FOUR WERE COMMITTED
Mark 2:4
2. A Few Observations:
Mark 2:4 “And when they could not come nigh unto
him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he
was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of
the palsy lay”
They could not gel in for the multitude.
Now they’ve messed up--- tore a portion
of the roof off.
1 Pet 2:23-25 “Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered,
he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: Who his own self bare…
1 Pet 2:23-25 …our sins in his own body on the tree,
that we, being dead to sins, should live unto
righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were as sheep going…
1 Pet 2:23-25 …astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of
your souls?”
2 Tim 1:12 “For the which cause I also suffer these things:
nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have
believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that
which I have committed unto him against that day”
2 Cor 5:19 “To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling
the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses
unto them; and hath committed unto us the word
of reconciliation”
He that committeth sin is of the devil!
1 John 3:8 “He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil
sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God
was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil”
1 John 3:4 “Whosoever committeth sin
transgresseth also the law: for sin is the
transgression of the law”
John 8:34 “Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin”
The four were committed to doing saving a soul.
Others are committed to serving sin.
THERE ARE THE CARELESSMark 2:5-7
3. A Few Observations:
Mark 2:5 “When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy
sins be forgiven thee. 6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there,…
Mark 2:5 … and reasoning in their hearts. Why doth
this man thus speak blasphemies? who can
forgive sins but God only?”
Some are not very helpful toward God’s command
to reaching the lost. These four men thought
about someone else besides themselves.
Psa 37:5 “Commit thy way unto the
LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass”
Prov 16:3 “Commit thy works unto the
LORD, and thy thoughts shall be
established”
Psa 31:5 “Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O
LORD God of truth”
1 John 3:9 “Whosoever is born of God doth not
commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is
born of God”
THERE ARE THE CRIPPLED
Mark 2:3
4. A Few Observations:
Mark 2:3 “And they come unto him,
bringing one sick of the palsy, which was
borne of four”
The people that should be reached are considered spiritually
handicapped or crippled.
Open your eyes… the fields are white
already unto harvest!
THERE ARE THE CRITICALMark 2:6-7
5. A Few Observations:
Mark 2:6-7 “But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but
God only?”
The critical are not all dead yet!
We might as well get use to being criticized.
Note: If they criticized our Lord, why not us?
THERE ARE THE COMPASSIONATE
Mark 2:3
A Few Observations:
Mark 2:3 “And they come unto him,
bringing one sick of the palsy, which was
borne of four”
Though they are few thank God for
them. Compassion is a great
motivating power.
What are you willing to do to become a child
of God?
All that matters is that you are a
faithful child of God and prepared to
meet Jesus Christ.
1 John 3:9 “Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed
remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because
he is born of God”
Rom 10:17 “So then faith cometh by
hearing, and hearing by the word
of God”
Acts 3:19 “Repent ye therefore, and be
converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when
the times of refreshing shall come from the
presence of the Lord”
Phil 2:11 “And that every tongue should confess that Jesus
Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the
Father”
Gal 3:27 “For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on
Christ”
