—Luke 5:20-26

How much sacrifice are you willing to make to bring your friends to Jesus? One must admire these friends for carrying the paralyzed man to Jesus for healing. They wanted the man to be healed and nothing could stand in their way of getting close to Jesus, even if they had to remove a portion of the roof to get to make it happen. I can just imagine the men agreeing to split the cost of replacing the roof—a calculated sacrifice they decided was worth the cost. That is a true example of love. Jesus did not disappoint them—He healed both body and soul, forgiving the man of his sins. Neither will He disappoint you.
