where where is presence of God is there is healing
Luke 5
mark 2
Luke 5
Luke 5 19
the 4 frens were undeterred cos they know that in the presence in Jesus, there is healing
Luke 5
Luke 5 24
the man not only received forgiveness of sins, but healing
3 groups of ppl
1. the Pharisees and teachers if the law
they are here to judge Jesus instead of hearing what the Lord have to say
2. the crowd
they have no compassion on the people.. they are on their own interests
they are indifferent, cold, no room and no time for others
doing well, no time for God or ppl
3.
they were there not for themselves but the paralyzed man
their actions unleashed the power the God.. ALL witnessed the glory of God
Luke 5 26
even so, Jesus welcomes them all
3 lessons we can learn from this 4 friends
1. unyielding love
they remain undeterred even if they were not welcome
their love was the primary motivation
love unleashes miracles
Matt 14 14
Matt 20 34
mark 1 41
2. unwavering hope
hebrews 6
we must hold on to the hope in our heart
alr but not yet kingdom of God
there is still bad and evil, sickness
but when Jesus comes back, He will make all things new where there will be no sadness
hebrews 10 23
there are promises from God and God is faithful to keep and do it
3. persistent faith
Jesus saw their faith.. its visible
faith without action is dead.. we must take action!
no stopping until is it done
summ
regardless which group of people we are, Jesus welcomes all
Luke 5 26
all !
Romans 15 13
