Why?

1. We all suffer some sort of “paralysis” that we can’t always cure by ourselves. (v.3)

2. Friends go the extra mile if they really care. (v.4-5a)

3. a. Although impossible by others to do, Jesus can free us from our paralysis. (v.5b-11)

b. And that’s worth shouting to the whole wide world: “This is Jesus Territory!” (v.12)

Challenge:

We Christ-followers have freedom in Christ.

So go and bring a friend to Jesus who can help them too.
