Mark 2:3. When some people came bringing a paralytic carried by four men.
What paralyses us in our lives? What prevents from growing in His love and doing so as a community? Pride? Lust? Gluttony? Ambition? Money? family? What holds us back? What causes our inaction? Do we hide behind our excuses? We may have started with giving one legitimate one but after two or three something is amiss is it not?
Can one person’s desire and love to bring a paralytic to Jesus for healing be enough? Unless he or she is gifted with uncanny strength, it would be far better to get help, so that together as a community we can face the challenges that may come when carrying the paralytic.
How then can we come together as a community? How do we build on the relationship we have through Christ? How do we become brethren? Do we not need to spend time together? Do we not need to have fellowship? Do we not need to share our strengths and weaknesses? Do we not need to love and worship God together? How can we do all these things if we are absent in body and mind?
Do we want and expect our Leaders to speak to us at our level of spirituality or do we want our leaders to lead us up to their level of spirituality? Do we then support them in their efforts?
