The four guys who schlepped their paralyzed friend to see Jesus are true heroes. They must have been good buddies to do so — and they must have been persistent in their desire to be of help. Instead of turning back when the crowd prevented them from getting to Jesus, they found a way. Can’t you just picture Jesus sitting in the middle of the crowd when the debris from the roof being broken open started to rain down on them? He had to admire their going all out to support their friend. Who has been such a support in your life? Who has gone above and beyond to help you when you were distressed? And who have you gone out of your way to help?
