About this listen

Mark’s Gospel tells the story of four people tearing a hole in the roof of a crowded building so they could lower a paralytic down to Jesus for healing. They didn’t do the healing, however, they were essential to the story.

Healing for the paralytic was an urgent matter for the four . They couldn’t wait for Jesus to finish preaching to the crowd—they needed to get the paralytic to Jesus immediately. Their faith and creativity caught Jesus’s attention. He forgave the paralytic’s sins and gave the order to, “take your mat and go home.”

During the encounter with the paralytic, Jesus had a mission to forgive and to heal. He still has the mission to forgive and heal. Today, the forgiveness and healing is for each of us.

This week, Pastor Mia highlights an important theme in the story of the paralytic. With Christ’s healing, we can emerge from darkness like a butterfly leaving the cocoon and taking flight. To fly, we must be dedicated to our own healing and we need the help of others to make it possible.
