Questions for Further Study or Group Discussion
- Read Mark 2:1-12. If you have grown up in the church, you are very familiar with this story. What is normally emphasized in a children’s lesson on this passage? What is usually missed?
- Why do you think Jesus speaks about forgiveness of sins, when it seems obvious the man wants to be healed of his paralysis? Is there a connection between physical ailments and sin?
- Why do the scribes question in their hearts what Jesus says? What does this reveal about Jesus? What is Jesus getting at with his question about what is easier?
- Whose faith does Jesus see? How can Jesus see faith? What does faith “look” like? Can Jesus, or other people, see your faith?
