Friendship

Friends Who Carry

"And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof."
Mark 2:4

Reflection

Four friends tore a hole in a roof to bring a sick man to Jesus. That is the kind of friendship worth having and worth being.

Prayer

Jesus, help me bring my friends to You. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. What did the four friends do for the sick man?
  2. Why didn't they give up when the house was full?
  3. Who could you bring closer to Jesus?

5-minute activity

Make a paper house with a removable roof and a mat on a string. Lower a paper figure through the roof together, just like the four friends. Read Mark 2:1-12.
