"'So I will prove to you that the Son of Man has the authority on earth to forgive sins.' Then Jesus turned to the paralyzed man and said, 'Stand up, pick up your mat, and go home!'
"And the man jumped up and went home! Fear swept through the crowd as they saw this happen. And they praised God for sending a man with such great authority."
Jesus mentioned forgiveness both because it was the paralytic's root issue, and also to prove that he had the authority to forgive sins, showing he is God. Only God can get at the root causes of our issues. Only God can forgive and heal at that deep level. Whatever kind of healing you need, realize that God is the ultimate source of healing. Medicine, psychology, and even religion can only address symptoms. Only God himself can get at the source of your problems and heal. Trust in God
