About this listen

In this powerful podcast, we're challenged to embrace our role as 'mat carriers' in the Kingdom of God. Drawing from the story of the paralytic man in Mark 2, we're reminded that sometimes our faith can be the bridge to someone else's miracle. The friends' determination to bring the paralyzed man to Jesus, even breaking through a roof, symbolizes the lengths we should go to in order to bring others to Christ. This narrative isn't just about physical healing, but spiritual restoration - Jesus forgives the man's sins before healing his body. We're called to look beyond ourselves, to see the 'one' who needs carrying, and to act on their behalf. This message urges us to shift from a self-centered faith to one that actively seeks to carry others to Jesus, fulfilling the law of Christ by bearing one another's burdens.
