Jesus Forgive Day 26
Jesus has been portrayed as racist recently by some individuals. They have written that Jesus in his conversation with the woman at the well showed racist bias. She was a Samaritan and he was a Jew. He is said to have despised her in his answers and questions. This is completely ludicrous for Jesus both here and on other occasions showed a warm and forgiving spirit to everyone he met. The woman ended up telling all and sundry how wonderful Jesus was. He not only forgave her, he empowered her!
Jesus Forgives the Paralytic
On another occasion, "Some 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.' The critics' reaction today would be the same as the teachers of the law in Jesus' day. Neither believe that Jesus was and is God himself in human form and therefore could not believe that he could forgive sins. At this, some of the teachers of the law said to themselves, 'This fellow is blaspheming!'
