The Voices of the crowd Don’t always Represent the Voice of God
But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed. “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they answered. “What shall I do, then, with Jesus, who is called the Messiah?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify him!” “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!” When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead, an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “It is…

Running away is not the best solution in Dealing with your Sins
Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. Psalms 51:1-2 This was the cry of David when he committed adultery with Bathsheba. Instead of running away from God, he humbly asked for His mercy and compassion. He asked God to wash his sins away. He acknowledged that he did something wrong, but he never allowed his guilt to hinder him from connecting to His heart. He chose to stay in His presence despite the disappointment and frustrations that he felt. David is said to be the “man…

A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that He had come home. They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and He preached the word to them. Some men came, bringing to Him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. Since they could not get Him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” Mark 2: 1-5, NIV…
