We are in this together
Mark 2:1-5
1A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. 2So many gathered that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. 3Some men came, bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four of them. 4Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus and, after digging through it, lowered the mat the paralyzed man was lying on. 5When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven."
Looking at this scripture, my pastor spoke this morning about how we are all in this togther. Jesus saw the faith not just in the man that needed healing but in those that did what ever it took to get this person to where he needed to be to get healed. All men should take hold of this scripture and realize that it is sometimes a combined effort of all to get things done. My old churh was not like this for me and my family. We needed to be healed and needed men on faith to help us get to the place that Jesus would take care of us and they choose to let us get pulled into a huge mud pit. I could visulize the tug of war with the emeny and my old church on one side of the line and me by myself on the other end. Just about the time I was gaining streght to hold my own, my old pastor grabed the line on the other side with the enemy and the church I thought to be my freinds and they all pulled me over then edge into a mud pit and walked away.
Please don't let this happen to you. If you find yourself in this place, leave before they pull you over the edge. I am very happy and in a great church with an awesome pastor that teachs about Gods love.
Amen
