We are like the paralyzed man carried to Jesus. We are helpless to do get to Heaven. There is nothing we can do to help ourselves. That is what the paralytic man felt. The Bible tells us to take our burdens to the Lord. But sometimes, we just need a human hand to help carry the load. God places people in our lives to help us make our way to Jesus.
Join today’s conversation with me, Lisa, and my friend Shaunda as we talk about how, like the paralyzed man, sometimes we need friends to carry us to Jesus. Consequently, when our loved ones are weak, hurting, or lost it’s our turn to carry them to Jesus.
