1 A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. 2 They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. 3 Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. 4 Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, "Son, your sins are forgiven."
My thoughts -
I love this passage. These friends are amazing. They wanted to get this man to Jesus so bad that they cut a hole in the roof and lower their paralyzed buddy through it. That just blows me away. I wish I could have been there when that plan was hatched. And it worked, too! Jesus saw their faith and healed their friend.
