Tear Off the Roof
The basis of the Gospel of Luke 5:17–26 is that Jesus heals a paralyzed man after his friends lower him through a roof, demonstrating that He has the authority not only to heal physically but also to forgive sins.
But I want to take a moment and focus on the friend's faith. How many of us tear off a roof to get to Jesus? How many of us push our way through a crowd to touch the hem of his robe? Often, we give up when things don’t go our way and we believe that Jesus doesn’t want to heal us.
But what would it look like to tear off a roof today? To keep making our way to Jesus, to keep pressing in, and not give up? His Word is His will, and he wants us healed and whole with an abundant life. It’s time to believe!
