Power Over All: Jesus Forgives
Weekly Devotional 2.17.2025
“For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” Colossians 1:13-14
Jesus desires to heal the whole person, both from physical ailments and sin. Jesus’ healing in Matthew 9 reveals that His mission was not solely about calming storms or curing diseases, but ultimately about saving people from their sins (Matt. 1:21). His healing served as a foretaste of what the promised Messiah would accomplish by dying on the cross so that all our sins could be forgiven forever. Just like the conclusion of the story in Matthew 9, we can stand in awe and glorify God—not only for His power to forgive sins but also for His grace and mercy in doing so.
