Friends Bring Friends to Jesus

Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus. When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus. When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.” (Luke 5:18-20 NIV)

Friends bring a friend to Jesus.  Isn’t that what the Gospel is all about?  Friends bringing friends to Jesus.  The friends had faith that Jesus could heal their friend.  It was the faith of the friends that healed the young man.  Our faith can be seen by our actions.
