Four Friends Bring a Paralyzed Man to Jesus
A Story of Faith and Healing
One day, Jesus was teaching in a house when four friends came carrying a paralyzed man. The man was so paralyzed that he could not even walk. The friends wanted to bring him to Jesus so that he could be healed.
Overcoming Obstacles
But the house was so crowded that they could not get inside. So they went up to the roof and dug a hole through the roof. Then they lowered the paralyzed man down into the house on his mat.
Faith and Healing
When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, "Son, your sins are forgiven." The religious leaders were shocked, because they thought that only God could forgive sins. Jesus then commanded the man to get up and walk.
A Miracle and a Lesson
The man got up and walked away, praising God. The people who saw this miracle were amazed. They knew that Jesus was a special man, and they praised God for sending him.
Conclusion
The story of the four friends who brought the paralyzed man to Jesus teaches us the importance of faith and perseverance. No matter how difficult the obstacles may seem, we should never give up hope. With faith, we can overcome anything.
