Can you imagine having friends who love you so much that, if you were paralyzed, they would carry you to and tear off the roof of a home and lower you to be healed by the Master? Do you have friends or family who also have a form of paralysis? Might they need a touch from the Master?

The man suffering from palsy did not heal himself and he could not forgive his own sins. Jesus heals. Jesus saves.

Mark 2:2 And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them. Mark 2:3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. Mark 2:4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay. Mark 2:5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
