A Hard Question

Do you remember the four friends who let the paralyzed man down through a roof because that was the only way to get him to Jesus?

"And behold, some men were bringing on a bed a man who was paralyzed, and they were seeking to bring him in and lay him before Jesus, but finding no way to bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down with his bed through the tiles into the midst before Jesus."  (Luke 5:18-19 ESV)

You can read the entire account in Luke 5, beginning at verse 17.

That's a nice story, you may say.

What does that have to do with me, you may ask.

Here's the hard question for you and for me.  Those friends were willing to do whatever was necessary to get their friend to Jesus.  What are you willing to do to bring people to Jesus?  What am I willing to do?

Are we willing to do whatever it takes?

Are we willing to make a hole in a roof?

Are we willing to step out of our comfort zones?

What are we willing to do? 

Because people need Jesus.

"And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."  (Acts 4:12 ESV)
