Mar 2:2-5 ERV A large crowd gathered to hear him speak. The house was so full that there was no place to stand, not even outside the door. While Jesus was teaching, (3) some people brought a paralyzed man to see him. He was being carried by four of them. (4) But they could not get the man inside to Jesus because the house was so full of people. So they went to the roof above Jesus and made a hole in it. Then they lowered the mat with the paralyzed man on it. (5) When Jesus saw how much faith they had, he said to the paralyzed man, "Young man, your sins are forgiven."
There we such crowds of people gathered around Jesus that you could not even get to the doors to see Jesus. but this man had such faith that Jesus would heal him that he would do anything to get near him. He wouldn't let a crowd or a building stop him so he was carried to the roof of the building and his friends began to make a hole in the room. I can imagine how hard it was for the men to get him to the roof without falling. anyone who has ever had to take a package of roofing tiles up to a roof will understand how hard that task is it was surly harder to get a man up there.
To all of us there comes obstacles that keep us from getting close to Jesus. What are yours?
