Sick Man and Friends

Day 1- 01 THE STORY

There is a story in the Bible where Jesus was teaching in a house. While He was teaching, some men tried to bring their sick friend through the door because they needed Jesus to heal him. They couldn’t get through the door so they lowered their sick friend through the roof to see Jesus.
Read Luke 5:17-20
What did Jesus do? How did these friends show they cared about their friend?

Day 2- 02 THE WITNESSES

These men are great examples of the I’m Third lifestyle. It took a lot of time, strength, and energy to carry their friend and lower him through the roof to Jesus. Can you imagine these guys climbing on a roof while carrying someone! Their friend witnessed how much they cared about them, and Jesus witnessed it, too!
Read Luke 5:24-26

Day 3- 03 THE SOURCE

Read and write out Luke 10:27
Who are you supposed to love first? How are you supposed to love God?
What are ways you love God with your mind? with your strength? with your heart?

Day 4- 04 THE MOTIVE

Repeat the verse from the day before.
Because you love God, who are you supposed to love second?
When God says “neighbor”, he means anyone around you at any part of your life… not just the people who live next door. What are some ways you love the people around you?
