TUESDAY: MARKED- "Marked by Jesus"

Matthew 9
Jesus Heals a Paralytic
1Jesus stepped into a boat, crossed over and came to his own town. 2Some men brought to him a paralytic, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven."
3At this, some of the teachers of the law said to themselves, "This fellow is blaspheming!"
4Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said, "Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts? 5Which is easier: to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'? 6But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...." Then he said to the paralytic, "Get up, take your mat and go home." 7And the man got up and went home. 8When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe; and they praised God, who had given such authority to men.
Today we start to look at how Jesus left His mark on the people He came into contact with. You have just read the account of Jesus healing a man paralyzed from birth. Read this account again from the top.
Here are a few questions for you to think about.
Who did Jesus leave His "Mark"on? (think about more than just the paralyzed man)
What effect did it have on those involved?
Has Jesus left a similar mark on you? How?

Pray today that God will help you see the mark that He has left on you.
