Jesus Rip The Roof Off For The Paralytic

Imagine the people s responses.

Jesus rip the roof off for the paralytic.

Then the roof begins to fall in on you. Luke uses the general expression those days referring to the early portion of our lord s ministry in galilee. 4 since they were unable to get to jesus through the crowd they uncovered the roof above him made an opening and lowered the paralytic on his mat. They ripped a roof off for pete s sake.

When jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic son your sins are forgiven you mark 2 3 5. And mark writes that jesus looks at the men and sees their faith. B it was noised that he was in the house. 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.

The giant gap in the roof is a further reminder of their belief. Through one of the most creative schemes ever their faith in jesus is made clear to everyone. 2 and they brought to him a paralytic lying on a bed seeing their faith jesus said to the paralytic take courage son. C 17 and it came to pass on one of those days b when he entered again into capernaum after some days c that he was teaching.

All of a sudden you start to hear some banging on the roof. 5 when jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic son your sins are forgiven. Mark says some days which implies the lapse of a considerable interval. That s faith if i ve ever seen it.

Then he speaks to the paralytic. It s time to rip the roof off our faith and get to jesus. 5 which is easier to say your sins are forgiven or to say get up. So when they had broken through they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying.
