Trinity 19
Genesis 28:10-17 | Ephesians 4:22-28 | Matthew 9:1-8

Jesus heals a paralytic, but shows what the greater healing is: “Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you.” Today's gospel miracle (Matthew 9.1-8) shows us the doctrine of the Small Catechism in action: “Where there is forgiveness of sins, there is also life and salvation.”
