Forgiving a person's sins is more important than healing. Jesus forgave him his sins which he needed the most then healed him which is awesome. Been sick for a few days glad to be back with you in Mark in studying God's Word!
But Skip, How did Jesus react when the leper said, "If you're willing"? It says Jesus became angry. I want to please God with my prayers. So I never pray "if it's your will." I lay hands on the sick often. I think only about 5% are miraculously, instantaneously healed, but that's a lot better than the 0% if I didn't pray. (I saw such a healing 4 days ago.) Christian, you also ought to believe God for miracles!
I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos as I study through different books. I will say I disagree with you on one point here. Everyone says the faith is solely on the friends' shoulders. But I disagree. The paralytic had to have faith. You can't get saved ("your sins are forgiven") based on your friends' faith. Had Jesus only healed, but not saved, I'd be more apt to agree it could just be the friends who had faith. But because of the salvation - the paralytic had to have faith.
Very insightful Thank you Pastor Skip❤

What Wonderful Pray before you begin the sermon .
I always read in awe when Jesus healed the paraplegic. He not only healed his spine but He rebuilt all his muscles that were atrophied.
Thank you for giving so much insight to your teaching. It really opens up my understanding.

who did Jesus pray to if He is God?
Why did God say Here is my beloved son
Father GOD
Mariam, Moses sister, was cleansed of leprosy by GOD.
