Estudio

1 ከጥቂት ቀን በኋላ ወደ ቅፍርናሆም ደግሞ ገብቶ በቤት እንደ ሆነ ተሰማ።

2 በደጅ ያለው ስፍራም እስኪጠባቸው ድረስ ብዙ ሰዎች ተሰበሰቡ፤ ቃሉንም ይነግራቸው ነበር

3 አራት ሰዎችም የተሸከሙትን ሽባ አመጡለት።

4 ስለ ሕዝቡም ብዛት ወደ እርሱ ማቅረብ ቢያቅታቸው እርሱ ያለበትን የቤቱን ጣራ አነሡ፥ ነድለውም ሽባው የተኛበትን አልጋ አወረዱ።

5 ኢየሱስም እምነታቸውን አይቶ ሽባውን። አንተ ልጅ፥ ኃጢአትህ ተሰረየችልህ አለው።

6 ከጻፎችም አንዳንዶቹ በዚያ ተቀምጠው ነበር በልባቸውም። ይህ ሰው ስለ ምን እንደዚህ ያለ ስድብ ይናገራል?

7 ከአንዱ ከእግዚአብሔር በቀር ኃጢአት ሊያስተሰርይ ማን ይችላል? ብለው አሰቡ።

8 ወዲያውም ኢየሱስ በልባቸው እንዲህ እንዳሰቡ በመንፈስ አውቆ እንዲህ አላቸው። በልባችሁ ይህን ስለ ምን ታስባላችሁ?

9 ሽባውን። ኃጢአትህ ተሰረየችልህ ከማለት ወይስ። ተነሣ አልጋህንም ተሸከምና ሂድ ከማለት ማናቸው ይቀላል?

10 ነገር ግን ለሰው ልጅ በምድር ላይ ኃጢአትን ሊያስተሰርይ ሥልጣን እንዳለው እንድታውቁ፤

11 ሽባውን። አንተን እልሃለሁ፥ ተነሣ፥ አልጋህን ተሸከምና ወደ ቤትህ ሂድ አለው።

12 ተነሥቶም ወዲያው አልጋውን ተሸክሞ በሁሉ ፊት ወጣ፥ ስለዚህም ሰዎች ሁሉ ተገረሙና። እንዲህ ያለ ከቶ አላየንም ብለው እግዚአብሔርን አከበሩ።

The Requirement of Faith

Por Todd Beiswenger

Jesus performs a few healing miracles where he says that the person is healed by their faith. Can our faith heal us? While I'm sure some experience physical faith healings, this is also a picture of how we need to believe in God's teachings in order to heal our spiritual state. God's teachings are cures for our ills, but do we believe what the Doctor is prescribing?

8420. 'Whether they walk in My law or not' means, whether they can lead a life of truth and good. This is clear from the meaning of 'walking' as living, dealt with in 519, 1794; and from the meaning of 'law' as the Word, dealt with in 2606, 3382, 6752. And since the Word is meant, so is Divine Truth, 7463, and thus also teachings about what is good and true, so that 'walking in the law of Jehovah' means leading a life of truth and good as teachings about them demand. Everyone knows that 'walking in the law' means living as the law demands, for the expression is part of everyday language. From this it may be seen that [the activity] 'walking' means living, and also that the actual word 'walking', like so many other words, carries the very meaning it possesses in the spiritual sense. This is attributable solely to the influx of the spiritual world into ideas composing thought, and then into words; for without that influx would anyone ever talk of walking instead of living - of walking in the law, in the statutes, in the commandments, or in the fear of God? The same applies to 'going', that it means living, referred to just above in 8417, and also to travelling, advancing, and sojourning. The reason why these words mean living is that the spiritual world is not one of spatial dimensions but of states of life instead, 2625, 2684, 2837, 3356, 3387, 4321, 4882, 5605, 7381.
