Guardians Of Ancora Bible Plan: Jesus Forgives And Healsഉദാഹരണം
PROBLEM? SOLUTION!
It was a great idea, and so simple. Pick him up and carry him, just as he was. Take him to Jesus, just as he was. Jesus would sort it.
With four of you, there could be one person on each corner of the mat. Take it gently on the rough road and it wouldn’t take too long. Except, on arrival, it wasn’t as you had anticipated. Somehow, in your mind, it had all been very straightforward. You hadn’t expected the huge crowd – there was no way you could get near Jesus. Unless… It was a crazy idea, but, hey, it was worth a try! What did the others think? One of them ran home to get the ropes.
Going up the steps was the easy bit. The roof was well made and took a lot of effort to remove (you would sort it out with the owner of the house later). Down he went, very slowly, on his mat, arriving unceremoniously at the feet of Jesus.
Of course, Jesus did far more than expected. Not only did he heal the man, he forgave him as well. Solution!
TALKABOUT
TALKING WITH GOD TOGETHER
Jesus knows everything we need – including forgiveness – and because he is God’s Son, he forgives us and takes away our sins. Tell him how you feel about that, aloud or quietly (as ‘thought prayers’).

Switch on your device, go to the Spire and select the Bible Quest ‘Jesus Forgives and Heals’. Have you completed the Quest? Did you light the Spire?
In Capernaum, there is some confusion, as the friends on the roof lower Rosh into the house. The Pharisees – the teachers of the religious law – aren’t happy at all. They think that only God can forgive sins. And if Jesus claims he can forgive sins, then that means he thinks he is God!
But Jesus knows what they’re thinking. He says, ‘What is easier – to forgive sins or to make this man walk?’
And then Jesus heals Rosh! Everyone is absolutely amazed! What do you think?
