Half & Half (or Not)

Luke 5:20-23

And when he saw their faith, he said, "Man, your sins are forgiven you." And the scribes and the Pharisees began to question, saying, "Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?" When Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answered them, "Why do you question in your hearts? Which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, 'Rise and walk'?


Today I've got a quick thought on a quick piece of Scripture. Check out this part: "...Jesus perceived their thoughts...".

One thing that we have to remember as Christians is that our Savior was not half god and half human; He was fully God and fully human: he was painfully aware of his purpose on Earth.

When people thought hurtful thoughts about Him, He heard them. When He woke up in the morning, He knew how many days He had left. And when He washed the disciples feet as a sign of sacrifice and service, He washed Judas' feet knowing exactly how Judas would betray Him.
