How Jesus Healed A Paralyzed Man Through The Roof

20 when jesus saw their faith he said.

How jesus healed a paralyzed man through the roof.

He saw the man s sinful heart. Net bible when they were not able to bring him in because of the crowd they removed the roof above jesus. 18 and some men were carrying on a bed a man who was paralyzed. The bible says that after digging through the roof the men lowered the mat that the paralyzed man was lying on down to where jesus was.

He had come to jesus to be healed because he was certain that jesus could heal him. Help them realize that it was because everyone could see whether the man could walk versus his sins being forgiven not being seen by others. They dug through it and let down the mat on which the paralyzed man was lying. Plus the roof wasn t made with large pieces of wood and didn t have shingles but had tiles or plaster that could be lifted or broken through easily to make a hole.

One could be seen as the paralyzed man was able to get up and walk. 19 when they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd right in front of jesus. Jesus knew that the man was a sinner like every man woman and child. But the first miracle was unseen as jesus said he was granting forgiveness for the man s sins.

Jesus healed man that was lowered through the roof. The man on the mat was not able to walk. There are so many printables available for this lesson so i decided to create this project to use after the lesson and they really enjoyed it. Point out that jesus healed both the man s physical problem and his heart.

The story of how jesus healed a paralyzed man shows two types of miracles. 18 some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before jesus. The friends climbed up an outside staircase and dug a hole through the roof. Ask the child if they can explain why it would be easier for jesus to forgive sins than heal the man.

But jesus saw a need much greater than his paralyzed legs. Luke 5 18 25 new international version niv. Since they couldn t bring him to jesus because of the crowd they made an opening in the roof over the place where he was. This second claim set jesus at odds with the pharisees and constituted a claim that jesus was the son of god.

God can always see the heart of a person luke 16 15. It can be used for several different lessons and it can used for any group discussion activity. And they were trying to bring him in and to set him down in front of him.
