1 Samuel 8:4-7, 10-22; Psalm 89:16-19; Mark 2:1-12

Carried by friends

No one comes to Jesus by themselves. We need the faith-in-action of friends to carry us there especially in times of darkness, confusion or weariness. The faith of this man’s friends is life-changingly creative. Together, they “dug through” the roof and let their friend down to Jesus. Recall and give thanks for times when friends have carried me to Jesus and when I have carried a friend to Jesus. Who needs me to carry them to Jesus? Who can I work with to help me find creative ways to enable this to happen?
