9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? 10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) 11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house (Mark 2:9-11).
All things are under Christ’s power and dominion. And the miracles are an example of this power and dominion. The miracles He performed were for a set purpose. The purpose was both to heal and to provide visible evidence of Christ’s identity to those that were eyewitnesses. But in spite of the many miracles, most rejected Christ. In many cases, those that rejected Him were those you would have thought would have recognized Christ the most. The learned religious leaders rejected even the miracles and so they rejected Christ ability to forgive sin: to their own eternal loss.
