Jesus Heals Us Spiritually | Matthew 9:1-8

Discover why Jesus addressed the paralyzed man's spiritual needs before his physical healing, and what that teaches us about the faith of true friends.

KEY POINTS:

- A true friend knows everything about you and still loves you—walking in when others walk out

- The four friends overcame every obstacle, showing faith that Jesus could see

- We are spiritual beings having a human experience—spiritual healing takes priority

- Physical healing proved Jesus has authority to forgive sins

- Jesus calls us to get up, take up our duties, and move forward in faithful living

SCRIPTURE: Matthew 9:1-8

In this message, we explore the story of four faithful friends who wouldn't let anything stop them from bringing their paralyzed friend to Jesus—even digging through a roof. When Jesus saw their faith, He did something unexpected: He forgave the man's sins first. This teaches us that our spiritual condition matters more than our physical circumstances.
