Wednesday Morning Walk, May 31, 2023

On Wednesday, May 23, Allen Byers brought us a message out of Mark, Chapter 2. There, Jesus was teaching in a house and when several men brought their friend to Jesus for healing, they couldn’t get through. Did they give up? Did they decide this just wasn’t the time to do God’s work? No. They took their friend to the roof-top, pealed always layers of roof and when it was clear, they lowered their friend to Jesus. They saw what seems to be an impossible situation – getting through the crowd – and they looked at it differently to find another way. Listen as Brother Byers challenges us to try a different perspective if it seems difficult to reach Jesus because Jesus will always make a way.

Look at it differently

Scripture: Mark 2: 1-12 (KJV) (Other versions are available at Biblegateway.com)

And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house. And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them. And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay. When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
