When He Saw Their Faith, He Answered Their Prayer

Scripture: Luke 5: 18-20

And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.  And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus.  And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.

Scripture Commentary:  When Jesus saw their faith, He made the man whole

How far would you go to help someone?  What would you do to lead a friend, enemy, or anyone to Jesus?  If someone hurt you, would you, being a Christian, help him/her come to know Jesus?

If God will forget your sins and forgive you, can you do the same?

The man in Luke 5  was not able to do anything for himself.  He had people who cared enough for him to go the extra step to get him to Jesus.  They had faith that Jesus could heal, and the man had faith also.  After all, if they did not have faith, why put forth so much effort to get their friend to Jesus?

If we say we have faith in God then we are to do God’s work.  That means we are to forgive, forget, help, lead, spread the Word of God, teach and love one another.
