SEEING THAT FAITH!
I am SURE=that when
I was 22=the LORD saw
THE FAITH
Of my family=my friends=
And my neighbors=
As well as my own
And that is
WHY I SURVIVED
Today we read about
ANOTHER AMAZING HEALING=and a
GROUP of men=opening a hole
In the roof=to try and HELP their friend
SEEING THAT FAITH!
“Many gathered together-
So that there was=no longer
Room for them........
UNABLE to get near Jesus
Because of the crowd=
They opened the ROOF
Above him” Mark 2:2, 4
Many people were DRAWN
To Jesus
Through the gospel accounts
What motivated them?
For sure it was a curiosity=
But for sure=it had to do with
A GREAT FAITH in healing
A great hope=
To be something more
To be something BETTER
For many=NO DOUBT=
It was their best chance in healing
For me=it was my ONLY CHANCE=
I was given zero% chance to survive=
SEEING THAT FAITH!
“Then he touched their eyes
And said=
'According to your FAITH-
Let it be done to you'” Matthew 9:29
“The apostles said to the Lord=
'INCREASE OUR FAITH'” Luke 17:5
“On arriving there=they gathered
The church together
And reported all=that God had done
Through them=and how
He opened up a door
OF FAITH to the Gentiles” Acts 14:27
What draws you and me to Jesus?
Would we CLIMB UP
On a rooftop=for the sake
Of a paralyzed friend?
What would we SAY
To Jesus=if we were FORTUNATE enough
To meet up with Jesus?
Would he see our faith?
SEEING THAT FAITH!
“Be on guard=stand firm=
IN THE FAITH=
Be courageous and strong=
Do everything in love” 1 Corinthians 16:13
“For it is by grace=
You have been saved
THROUGH FAITH--------
And this is not-from yourselves=
It is the gift of God--------
Not by works-so
No one can boast” Ephesians 2:8
Jesus SEES THE FAITH
Of these friends and commends them
They were willing to go
The extra mile
FOR FAITH AND FRIENDSHIP
Are we WILLING
To do the same?
If so=God and Jesus
WIL SEE OUR FAITH!
In Jesus' name=and in the name of our EVER FAITHFUL HOLY FATHER!
