Hey friends. Today’s miracle is about friendship.

There was a man who couldn’t walk.

He had four friends who believed Jesus could heal him.

When they brought him to the house where Jesus was teaching, it was packed. There was no way in.

So they did something bold.

They climbed onto the roof.

They dug through it.

And they lowered their friend down right in front of Jesus.

Can you imagine the dust falling? The crowd gasping?

But here’s the part I love.

The Bible says, “When Jesus saw their faith…” Not just the man’s faith. Their faith.

He said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” Then He told him to get up, take his mat, and walk. And he did.

This miracle teaches us two things.

First — Jesus cares about your heart even more than your body.

Second — your faith can help carry someone else to Jesus.

Maybe you have a friend who’s struggling.

Maybe someone who doesn’t know God yet.

Maybe someone who feels stuck.

Be the kind of friend who carries people toward Jesus.

Pray for them.

Encourage them.

Invite them.

You never know what miracle might happen because you chose to lift someone up.

Be strong. Be courageous.

I’ll see you tomorrow.
