Paralytic Man Through The Roof Sermon

1 and again he entered into capernaum after some days.

Paralytic man through the roof sermon.

Roofs and the bible story about jesus and a roof the bible and roofs. Their faith was a faith of initiatives their faith was a faith of persistency hence god gave them away. Since they could not get him to jesus because of the crowd they made an opening in the roof above jesus and after digging through it lowered the mat the paralyzed man was lying on. And it was noised that he was in the house.

These men as they couldn t push through the crowd carried the paralytic up the outside stairway to the roof dug up the compacted thatch and earth removed the tiles and lowered the man through now exposed beams to the floor below. Sermon on the paralyzed man let down through a roof luke 5. The account of the healing of the paralyzed man in mark 2 1 12 contains a number of lessons for growing christians. If we want to have souls saved we must not be too squeamish and delicate about conventionalities rules and proprieties for the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence.

And he preached the word unto them. To let a man down through the roof was a device most strange and striking but it only gives point to the remark which we have now to make here. When jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic son your sins are forgiven mark 2 3 5. The man is literally let down through the roof under the careful control of his concerned friends and into a situation controlled by the lord jesus christ.

However the direction is not up and the situation is not out of control.
