Judges 16:1-31; Isaiah 35:1-10; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13
Then they came to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men…they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.” Mark 2:3-5, NKJV
You could entitle this story, “Four men who let a good friend down!”. In reality, these men cared enough about their helpless friend to bring him to the Lord Jesus. Someone suggested nicknames for these four men could be: Sympathy, Cooperation, Originality, and Persistence. That’s what it takes today to bring our friends to Christ.

Lord, lay some soul upon my heart, and love that soul through me;
And may I humbly do my part, to win that soul for Thee. —Leon Tucker
