This story of healing reflects the miraculous power of Jesus to change lives, but what makes this story stand out – is the faith of the paralyzed man’s friends. It is their faith that motivates Jesus to not only heal this man – but to forgive his sin! They did whatever it took – tearing a hole in the roof – to get their friend before Jesus. This is the mission of the church – to carry people to Jesus – even if it means tearing a hole in the roof. Are we ready to carry people to Jesus?
