When you truly believe in Jesus and you're so sure that He is the only one to help you. You will do anything to get His attention (Mark 2:1-5)
The friends of the paralyzed man didn't let the multitude to stop them from getting Jesus' attention. They pressed the more. Since pressing could not help, they went up and made an opening at the roof.
Their desperate faith brought about their actions of faith.
Many of us today have stopped pressing further because of some hindrances we have faced - but this story should encourage you not to give up.
The faith of these men is really commendable. One will ask, why did they pressed so much though it was not their problem directly - in a sense - but we see here faith been expressed in love.
The pain of their beloved friend became their pain. His paralysis was their paralysis. Wow! See how much these men love - this is what we call "love in action."
Can we still find friends like such men, who will do anything for the betterment of their friend?
Jesus was not just compassionate for the paralyzed man but was moved by the faith of his friends. (Mark 2:5)
What kind of friends do you keep around you?
