Introduction to Mark 2 Faith and Reward vs. Sin and Wages When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, "Son, your sins are forgiven."（イエスはその人たちの信仰を見て、中風の人に、「子よ、あなたの罪は赦され る」と言われた。） v. 5

Mark 2:1-12: A Threefold Symbolism1 (1) We must come to Christ in faith and let Him heal us of spiritual paralysis. Sin is a paralysis of the soul. (2) We should let nothing deter us from getting to Christ, who alone can heal us, both in body and in soul. (3) We must help each other come to Christ. Third Sorrowful Mystery: THE CROWNING WITH THORNS Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. / Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. Discussion Theme: Faith and Reward vs. Sin and Wages Have you done anything in faith today? Why did you do it? cf. Hebrews 11:6 What is sin? cf. Romans 14:23 What does sin do? cf. Romans 6:23 What is the gift of God? cf. Romans 6:23 What is eternal life? cf. John 17:3 How much faith do you need to see a miracle? cf. Luke 17:1-6
