"Cheers!" said the milkman as we paid him and he went on his way. To a man who was a paralytic Jesus said, "Son, be of good cheer, your sins are forgiven you." [ Matthew 9:21 ] Today, many are paralysed by guilt and fear. To all such Jesus says, "Be of good cheer ... I did not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance." [ Matthew 9:13 ] Forgiveness is the first step towards a meaningful life. Because Jesus has conquered death and is alive today His presence and power will see us through. "Cheers!"
