Unitarians
Mark 2:6Jesus proves His deity by forgiving sins and healing, silencing Unitarian arguments.
Scribes here use the Unitarian argument. Jesus proves to them His own deity by speaking the word of forgiveness and healing
Jesus' forgiveness reveals His divine authority to pardon sins, affirming His deity and mercy (Mark 2:5). Preaching on this subject often uses images of healing and restoration to illustrate the transformative power of His grace, emphasizing that forgiveness is both a gift and a sign of Christ's sovereign love.
Willing
Christ is willing to save sinners because He died for them willingly.
Macdonald once addressed an old man who had lost his sight, saying it would be well if his mental eyes were opened. “I trust they are,” he said. “But what do you see?” “That I am blind—that in myself I am a ruined sinner, but Christ is an Almighty Saviour.” “But what if He is not willing?” “Willing! Would He die for sinners if he were not willing to save them? No, no!”
