Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on.
Mark 2:4 NIV
Maybe it's a guy thing, but did you ever wonder who fixed the hole in the roof?
I mean the story never says. The story doesn't even say the guys got permission to put the hole in the roof.
Often times in the life of the church, we get lost in the hole in the roof questions and we miss the changed lives as a result.
Strange how today's reading corresponds with the day of our first Lock-In for students here at the church. We have over 20 students coming. Over half of them have never been to any church activity!
What if the students put a hole in the roof . . .
Will people see the hole or the students that came to the Lock-In and had an encounter with Christ?
The next time you are complaining about something at church, ask yourself if you just might be complaining about a hole in the roof?
