True friendship is clearly demonstrated:
(Verses 3-5)
3Some men came, bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four of them. 4Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus and, after digging through it, lowered the mat the paralyzed man was lying on. 5When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven."
Jesus' power and compassion is also clearly demonstrated:
(Verses 10-12)
10But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins . . . ." He said to the paralytic, 11"I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home." 12He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this!"
Jesus not only knew the heart of the paralytic, but the hearts of the others that carried him.
In a few words:
Have a heart to help others.
Have a heart that allows others to help.
