LET THROUGH THE ROOF
MARK 2.4
THE poor man, who you see in this picture, had been very ill for a long time.
He had four friends who loved him very much, and who had heard that the Lord Jesus could heal those who were sick.
When these friends heard that Jesus was in their city, they were very anxious to get the sick man to Him. But he was so helpless that he could only lie on his bed, waited on by those around him.
But these four friends firmly believed that Jesus could heal the sick man, and they decided to carry him, just as he was on his bed, and ask Jesus to cure him.
But when they reached the house where Jesus was, there was such a crowd that they could not even get near the door.
You can imagine how they tried to persuade the people to make room for them to get in; but everyone was so anxious to see the Lord Jesus, and to hear Him speak, that they could not even get near the door.
What was to be done now? Should they turn back?
