When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. Mark 2:5
What effort these four expended to bring their friend to the Lord! First they tried the door, then they took off the roof, dug a hole through the ceiling and, fi nally, lowered the lame man down into the crowd—all for a man who had no ability to reciprocate their kindness. What are we willing to do for our lost friends and family to bring them to Christ? Is there some practical kindness we can show someone today that would lead them to the love of the Lord?—L. Shatford
Give as ‘twas given to you in your need, love as the Master loved you;
Be to the helpless a helper indeed, unto your mission be true. —G. S. Schuler
