Confirmed By Christ
This chapter (Romans six) begins speaking of Grace.
Paul in his epistles often connects grace with Jesus’ death.
Grace is a gift. It is from the Greek word: charis charis which means joyous favor.
There is good reason to feel joyous—our sins are forgiven by the blood of Jesus!
1John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
1Pe 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
Easter Message You Are Forgiven
The events leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion can be illustrated by a story recorded in three gospels: Mt 9:1-8, Mk 2:1-12, Lk 5:17-26. The man sick of palsy
Mt 9:2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee. This is the centerpiece of Jesus' message...forgiveness. This flew in the face of traditional Talmudic and Pharisaical teaching of the day. The harshness of Judaism placed a heavy burden on the common Jew. Jesus’ message was like a breath of fresh air. The religious leaders took notice of his message and were not accepting to it. Mk 2:6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? Only God can forgive sins AND a strict adherence to Talmudic teaching was the teaching of the day.

ALL 4 GOSPEL WRITERS RECORD THIS STORY
Mt 21:1–9. Mk 11:1–11; Lu 19:29–40; Jn 12:12–19.
This is a day of Good news!
Throughout the gospel Jesus went about doing good as related by Peter to Cornelius—Ac 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
Jesus went about telling people to be of good cheer—Mt 9:2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.
