Jesus’ popularity has skyrocketed and there were many who
wanted to see what the fuss is all about. Some were curious. Some suspicious. Some desperate.
In this particular story, the curious and the suspicious
made it difficult for the desperate to reach Jesus.
But desperate people are prepared for desperate measures.
And they came,
bringing to Him a paralytic, carried by four men. And being unable to get to Him because of the
crowd, they removed the roof above Him; and when they had dug an opening, they
let down the pallet on which the paralytic was lying. Mark 2:3-4
They removed the roof.
They dug an opening.
Can you visualize this??
Most of us are much too polite for such inconvenience. Much too concerned about the cost of the
repairs to the roof. Much too worried about what it would take to clean up the
mess.

But desperate people go out on a limb, because they know
their only hope is Jesus.
Not a reputable religion.
Not a church building.
Not a long impotent list of dos
and don’ts.
And they are willing to do whatever it takes until they are face to
face with Him.
