The Man From the Roof
Origin
The New Testament
Story
Jesus’ life is like a wondrous storybook, filled with magic and miracle. Here is another wonderful story about Jesus.
A long time ago, Jesus was at home, teaching his disciples and followers.
His modest home was filled to the brim. People were jostling for space. But Jesus went on calmly to fill the people’s heart with God’s love.
Soon, four men made their way to Jesus’ home. They were carrying their paralyzed friend with them. The poor man could not walk and was helpless.
But there was no way for them to reach Jesus. But the friends had faith in Jesus and believed that only he could help their disabled friend. So they climbed onto the roof, cut a hole in it and lowered their friend towards Jesus.
Jesus was touched by the simplicity and faith of these strong men. So he looked at paralyzed man and said “ Arise and go home.” And in an instant the man could walk again!
Lesson
With faith, everything is possible.
