Man Lowered Through Roof To See Jesus

The activity highlights eight elements of this event.

Man lowered through roof to see jesus.

This bible activity is a word scramble based on jesus actions to heal and forgive a lame man who was lowered before him through the roof of the house where he was teaching. What an amazing picture of friendship devotion and love we see here. Then they lowered the sick man on his mat down into the crowd right in front of jesus. You and i have friends who need to come to jesus.

Jesus was impressed by the faith of these men. It also underscores a bottom line lesson from the biblical record of the account. Believing that jesus could heal their friend the men tore away part of a roof so they could lower the man to jesus. Some of the scribes thought to themselves.

When jesus saw their faith he told the paralyzed man that his sins were forgiven. In scripture we read of new songs new mercies a new creation a new heaven and earth new names and new wineskins. New living translation they couldn t bring him to jesus because of the crowd so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. For the kids at your church friendships are a major part of everyday life.

Then they lowered the man down through the roof to where jesus was. When they couldn t get near jesus they went to the roof and uncovered the roof. So they went up to the roof and took off some tiles. The four men carried their friend up to the roof and made an opening in the roof.

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. The friends climbed up an outside staircase and dug a hole through the roof. When the man s friends carried him to the house where jesus was staying they found the house to be packed with people wanting to hear jesus and be healed by him. Who does he think he is.

Since they could not get him to jesus because of the crowd they made an opening in the roof above jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. Praise the lord that he is the god of new things. When jesus saw how much faith these four men had he not only healed the paralyzed man he even forgave him of all his sins. No man had ever been brought to jesus through a hole in a roof before either but it worked.

However the direction is not up and the situation is not out of control. When they had broken a space big enough through the roof the four men let the man down through the roof. A paralysed man is forgiven and healed by jesus after being lowered through the roof. They lowered their friend down to the place where jesus was.
