Luke 5:17-26:
Their concern for their friend and their faith in Jesus lead those carrying his mat in an awkward ascent to the roof from which they lower him to a place before Jesus. This is not the first time for conflict between Jesus and the Pharisees, nor is it the last. True to form, they are fixated on his claim to have authority by his words and works.
I pray in thanksgiving for friends who hold me physically, emotionally and spiritually. May God bless them for their selfless love.
