Tore A Hole In The Roof To See Jesus

Imagine the people s responses.

Tore a hole in the roof to see jesus.

So they made a hole in the roof right above the place where jesus was. Man goes through roof to see jesus. This is a lesson about the friends bringing a man that couldn t walk to see jesus but there were so many people they had to put a hole in the roof and let him down. And jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic my son your sins are forgiven.

When the man s friends carried him to the house where jesus was staying they found the house to be packed with people wanting to hear jesus and be healed by him. There is great power when your faith moves in agreement with the faith of others. They earned their spot. It was a real commitment to dig into some stranger s roof and make a man sized hole in it.

His bed to jesus. The friends climbed up an outside staircase and dug a hole through the roof. Because of the crowd however they could not get the man to him. No man had ever been brought to jesus through a hole in a roof before either but it worked.

Such was their love for their friend and confidence in jesus power and willingness to help that they would interrupt his discussions with the local theologians by coming through the roof. So they tore a hole in this man s roof and lowered him down to jesus. And being unable to get to him because of the crowd they removed the roof above him. As far as they were concerned jesus may not ever pass that way again and they wanted to make sure this paralytic man had to chance to see him.

Praise the lord that he is the god of new things. But instead of giving healing the first thing jesus said was son thy sins be forgiven thee. I d guess anger because they are there to listen to jesus. Mark 2 3 5 and they came bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men.

The paralyzed man s friends chopped a hole in the roof and lowered him his bed and all his sorrows into the midst of the crowd who had filled the house to be with jesus. Jesus was impressed by the faith of these men. When they had made an opening they let the man down lying on his mat. This lesson is intended for preschool and out students really enjoyed the projects.

And when they had dug an opening they let down the pallet on which the paralytic was lying. All of a sudden you start to hear some banging on the roof. In scripture we read of new songs new mercies a new creation a new heaven and earth new names and new wineskins. First principle faith works through the power of agreement.

These friends literally tore the tiles off the roof tore a hole in the roof and lowered the paralyzed man by a rope into the house.
