SUZANNE
When I was in graduate school, I had a car that would sputter and die if I ran
through a puddle, or if it rained…Something to do with the catalytic
converter. I always like those words “catalytic converter.” They remind me
of the Paralytic converted that Mark accounts for us in the second chapter of
his book.
It took the faith of four men, willing to carry this paralyzed man on his mat,
men who were willing to tear up a roof and lower him down to see Jesus.
When Jesus saw the faith of these men, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your
sins are forgiven.” You see, it was not this man’s faith that caused the
forgiveness of his sins, but the faith of his friends.
The teachers of the law questioned Jesus, and He rebuked them. They were
amazed that he picked up his mat and walked out, bringing praise to God.
Sometimes it takes the faith of a friend for someone to come to Christ. Are
you that kind of friend?
For Central, A United Methodist Community, may the example of your faith
bringing others to Christ!
