Who is Jesus? #58 (Forgiver Cont.)

Why is it that sometimes, I don't feel "forgiven?" Is it because my sin is so great that I can't accept the fact that I am forgiven? Is it because I am looking for a "cleansed" feeling that only happens over time? Jesus came to forgive. I need forgiveness. Why don't I feel forgiven?

Matthew 9: they brought a man to Jesus who needed physical healing. He was a paralytic. The Bible says that "when Jesus saw their faith" he told the man his sins were forgiven.
There is some connection between faith and forgivenesss that needs exploring. What I believe about Jesus, who He was/is, His mission and His person all come into play here.
It's too much to think about all at one time.

Be Strong and Courageous,

L.T.
