Overlapping roof tiles
from Daily Picture Hosted by Stephanie Hawkins
Today I saw some overlapping roof tiles which have reminded me of the group of persistent friends, as recounted in the gospels of Luke (5:19) and Mark (2:4) who lowered their paralytic friend down through a roof, to place him in front of Jesus because they couldn't get through the throng of people surrounding Him. Jesus healed the man and said that his sins were forgiven. In earthly terms Jesus died after this account but all time pivots around His torturous and sacrificial death, whereby all can choose to receive the offering of the forgiveness of sin and healing. We may have to dismantle part of a metaphorical roof, tile by tile, but let us persevere in reaching Jesus with a trust and desire to receive His forgiveness and healing. He so wants to help us reach that point.
