Our family has so enjoyed watching The Chosen (Bible mini-series). Have you seen it? There is a powerful scene, portrayed in Episode 6, of the paralytic’s friends lowering him through the roof, in an effort to bring him to Jesus for healing.
We encourage you to read Luke 5:17-26 and watch that scene before listening to this week’s podcast.
