What does Mark 2 teach about human helplessness?

Answered in 1 source

Mark 2 illustrates human helplessness through the paralytic's inability to reach Jesus without help.

In Mark 2, the story of the paralytic illustrates the profound helplessness of humanity apart from Christ. The man was unable to move or seek help on his own, symbolizing our own spiritual paralysis due to sin. As the paralytic was brought to Jesus by his friends, it shows that, similarly, the Holy Spirit must draw us to Christ, as we lack the ability to come to Him on our own. This depiction of dependency emphasizes the necessity of divine intervention in our lives for salvation.
