Carry Your Friend to Jesus

Quotes:

• Mark 2:1-4 (NLT): “When Jesus returned to Capernaum several days later, the news spread quickly that he was back home. Soon the house where he was staying was so packed with visitors that there was no more room, even outside the door. While he was preaching God’s word to them, four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn’t bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus.”
• “Do you have a friend who is having a hard time getting to Jesus right now? Perhaps they are afraid or full of doubt. Maybe they have experienced some sort of hurt that is keeping them from seeking Him. Maybe they don’t think they’ve been good enough, and so they can’t pray or come close to Him. Or their hearts have grown hard. Or they simply don’t believe.”
• “Be like the friends of the paralytic and carry your friend to Jesus.”
