    1) Jesus is the gracious Lord who helps in times of spiritual and physical distress. He helped the paralytic who was suffering both physically and spiritually through forgiveness of sins. 2) All disease and ailments of the body come from sin, but God sends them to His children as a loving cross to bear, not a punishment. 3) Jesus proved Himself as the gracious Lord who helps by healing the paralytic's body, because of His grace, through His word, and in response to the man's faith. Christians should take refuge in Jesus alone in times of spiritual and physical need through prayer.

    Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity (1882)

    Matthew 9:1-8 Introduction on the basis of Psalm 13:6.1 Jesus is the gracious Lord who is so happy to help: 1. in every distress of the soul, a. the anguish of the paralytic - it was greater than the pain of the body; he was in severe temptations because of his sins, . spiritual temptations, for the heart yearns for comfort (it only hears the heavy thunder of the law), are a heavy burden that is not supported by their own powers, nor can it be passed on.2 . this distress, hidden to the human eye, is known to churn the heart3, b. Christ proves Himself in this distress as the gracious Lord who is so happy to help4, . what is this help (forgiveness), . why He was so happy to grant this help (grace), . how He helps (Word), . whom He helps (faith). Thus today. He is with us in His Gospel and the Holy Sacraments.5 c. therefore we should take our refuge in Him alone when we and our fellow Christians are in such (and other) spiritual needs.6 Give thanks and praise to Him alone for our salvation7; 2. in all needs of the body, a. Paralysis, like all disease and ailments of the body, is a fruit of sin, are great evils 8, . even dear children of God are sent all sorts of diseases, etc.9, . but to them it is a salutary cross - not the rod of wrath, but the rod of love.10 "Chastening with a measure."11 b. Jesus proves Himself to the paralytic as the gracious Lord who is so happy to help12,
