Jesus was talking, teaching, etc in somebody's little house, and it was packed full of people; literally out the door. A couple of guys with an apparently very sick buddy came to see if Jesus could/would magically heal their friend, but couldn't get inside.
So.
They hauled the guy (who was basically being carried on a cot by his friends) onto the roof, and proceeded to BREAK THROUGH the top of somebody's house.
They lowered him down in front of Jesus, and Jesus healed the guy.
I read this story in the Bible, and I'm struck at the ballsy tenacity of these guys! They go wreck somebody else's house to see their friend *hopefully* get healed by this wandering wizard.
So, the question in my mind, is... When I have a sick, or wounded friend/family member/etc... Or if I know someone who needs help that neither I nor anyone I know can give... Am I ready to do whatever it takes to get them in front of Jesus?
As Rorschach might say; "Hurm."
