This story talks about four men bringing a paralyzed man to Jesus to be healed. Jesus had a huge crowd around Him. These men were determined to get the paralyzed man to Jesus because they had faith in Him, and that He had the power to heal and forgive. So, they climbed to the roof and pushed their way through to get to Jesus. Jesus recognized their determination and healed and forgave the paralyzed man of his sins.
Healing and forgiveness wouldn’t have taken place if it wasn’t for the four men. It was their determination and faith that caught Jesus attention. They lifted the paralyzed man and got him to Jesus.
Are you leading your friends and loved ones to the one that saves, forgives, and heals? Aren’t you glad that Jesus didn’t leave us alone? He has put people in our lives that can lift us up when we are down. He brings people in our path that gets us in the right direction when we are lost. Are you the kind of friend that will persistently persevere to lead your friends and loved ones to Christ.
