Who needs front doors?!
This last weekend I had a great opportunity to speak at our Sunday night service at Cornerstone. I really felt impressed to talk about Luke 5:17-26. It is the story of the paralyzed man.
One of the predominate characters in the story are the friends of the lame man. If they were not persistent on getting him to Jesus, would have this man had an encounter and have been healed by Jesus. It said that at first they saw the crowds and that they could not get into the house. So, they went to the roof and lowered their friend down into the very place where Jesus was standing. There was no way that Jesus would not have encountered the paralyzed man then.
The main thought that I can not get out of my head now is who do I take to Jesus. Do I journey along side people to lead them to Jesus no matter what obstacles may be in the way? Am I persistent that their need is greater than what the physical challenges may be in my life or even theirs. May I be a man of God that He uses to lead people to the healing that Jesus has to give.
I think secondly, do I surround myself with people who will do the exact same for me? Do I have people in my life that will also take me to Jesus when I need him the most?
Who are you taking to Jesus? Who do you surround yourself by who will lead you to the presence of God?
