The mastery and purpose of Jesus’ ministry are revealed in Mark 2:1-12, where he states openly that he is capable of forgiving a man’s sins. Although some people viewed this action as blasphemy at the time, it, in fact, manifests the divine origin and the purpose of Jesus’ stay on earth. To be more specific, Jesus conveys the very essence of his being and his divine purpose by saying, “I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” This passage proves quite graphically that Jesus is the Son of God and that He cares deeply for the fate of humanity. The significance of the claim, therefore, lies in the powerful statement that it makes concerning the actual role that Jesus plays in Christianity; to be more exact, the above-mentioned statement points to the fact that Jesus is the Messiah and that His divine purpose concerned saving the humanity by sacrificing his own life.
