Luke 5:19 “And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus.”
In this case, as in many others in history, the Lord worked out the logistics to His glory. Imagine the scene. Many are pressing in, closer and closer to Christ. The discussion is intense. At first the noise above their heads distracts nobody. Then, as they begin to realize what is going on, a bed is lowered through he roof. What a testimony to the importance of reaching Christ!
Dear one, if there is something keeping you from reaching Christ, tear up the roof and enter in. Let no person or thing stand between you and eternal salvation!
Heavenly Father, You are important. We can never find any goal so appropriate as the goal of finding the Christ. No matter what it takes, every man must rip through the roof of life’s distractions and humble himself before the power of Your Christ. We need Him above all else! Salvation through Him is the only way! We praise You for all that our lives may now be if we have been converted. We love You! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
