One must wonder what was going on through the poor man’s
mind when he sat there, landed on top of the rubble from the felled ceiling, all eyes
on him.
Hi there. ?
Excuse me...?
Nice to meet you all...?
Awk-ward! ?
One must wonder what was going on through the minds of the
people in the crowd watching it all unfold right before their eyes.
Wow, what a mess!
These guys are crazy!
I wonder what Jesus is
going to say now?
I know what He should
say. He should say, ‘You idiots, what were you thinking?!!! Do you realize what
you have done?!!! Do you know how much it’s going to cost to repair all this damage?!!! And who do you think is going
to clean up your colossal mess?
But Jesus says none of that.
None of any of it at all.
This is what Mark records about the event:
Impressed by their bold belief, Jesus said…
I am thinking, it
would be rather difficult to impress the Son of God. He’s seen it all. Knows it all. But, these guys, these crazy,
wacko, worth-their-weight-in-gold guys who went out on a limb, who went through the roof with their useless-bodied
friend, they impressed Him. They left their mark on the mind and heart of the Son of God!
And when your
wacky, crazy friends put you down through the roof, landing you safely at the
feet of Jesus, amazing things happen.
