Mk 2:1-12 the story of the four men bringing the paralyzed man
Paralyzed man was stuck, dependent upon others for everything. We often get stuck like that. Began to Hope that Jesus could change his life. His friends had the same hope for him.
The Pharisees doubt that hope. They see the miracle, but question Jesus instead of praising God.
Others are not sure about Jesus. Questioning, wondering.
God can use this story to speak to our lives, our stories.
Are you stuck? Hurt? Paralyzed in some way? God can change our lives, our stories!!
We must come to Him, and wait for his timing. We need to passionately pursue Him in faith!! Don't be lazy about your pursuit of Jesus. Be creative about getting to Him, because he is worthy! Give your life to him, no matter what, even if things don't go the way I want.
Want God to live in, through, and for me. The bible is how we get to know him.
The friends desperately wanted their return to meet Jesus, and they went to great lengths to get him there.
Watch out, because our hearts can be far from him, even if we are surrounded by the things of God all the time. Be careful not to be judgemental or hypocritical.
Always remember that others are watching what we do and say.
