Crossword Puzzle Answers

  • Capernaum Though Jesus was born in Bethlehem (Mt 2:1, 6; cf. Mic 5:2) and raised in Nazareth (Mt 2:23, 21:11), His home base for ministry was apparently in ____ (Mk 2:1).
  • Faith The paralyzed man being lowered through the roof to the Lord is a prime example of great ___ in action (cf. Mk 5:21-43, 10:46-52).
  • Sin In both the Old and New Testaments, disease and death can be caused by ___ (cf. Ex 15:26; Dt 7:12,15; 2 Ch 7:13-14; Mk 2:5; Jn 9:1-2; Ac 5:1-11, 12:21-23; 1 Cor 11:29-30; Jas 5:14-16). Yet, this is not always the case (Jn 9:3; Gal 4:13).
  • Healed In Scripture, forgiveness is often associated with being ____ (Mk 2:5, 10; cf. Ps 41:4; Is 53:5; Jer 3:22; Hos 14:4).
  • Forgive Only God can ___ sin (Mk 2:7; cf. Ps 103:3; Is 43:25, 44:22; Mic 7:18). Since He _____s sin, Jesus demonstrates His divinity.
  • Blasphemy Since Jesus claims that He can forgive sin, the teachers of the law think that He is committing _____ (cf. Mk 2:7) – a capital crime (Lev 24:13-16; Mk 14:63-64; Jn 10:33).
  • Heart Only the Lord knows the thoughts of the human ____ (Mk 2:6; cf. 1 Sam 16:7; 1 Ki 8:38-39; Ps 139:4; Jer 17:9-10).
  • Easier If Jesus can do what is ____ to say (“Your sins are forgiven”), then, surely, He can do what is harder to say (“Get up, take your mat, and walk!”) (Mk 2:9).
  • SonOfMan (Three words) The healing of the paralyzed man serves as an object lesson demonstrating the authority of the ___ __ ___ (Mk 2:10; cf. Dn 7:13-14; Mk 14:61-64).
  • Lame The ___ being made to walk is prophetic proof of the power of the Prince of Peace, a stunning sign of salvation (Is 35:3-6 esp. Is 35:6; cf. Lk 7:22). This is confirmation that the Kingdom of God has come near (Mk 1:14-15); for Christ (i.e., the Messiah) the King has come.
