Come See Jesus #30 -- Luke 5:17-26 -- The Fellowship of the Mat!

 One of my favorite stories is a story of four guys contending for the life of their friend. And while there is more than one thing, I'll share from that story, one of the most powerful realities it points to is this... "Your faith may bring life to your friends." Don't miss it when it says that Jesus looked at the faith that these four guys had and because of their faith, he forgave and healed a man. Your faith might be the catalyst needed for someone else to find life. At the risk of spoiling the surprise, let me share the end of the story in Luke 5.

Then Jesus turned to the paralyzed man and said, "Stand up, pick up your mat, and go home!  And immediately, as everyone watched, the man jumped up, picked up his mat, and went home praising God. Everyone was gripped with great wonder and awe, and they praised God, exclaiming, "We have seen amazing things today!" 

All because of the fellowship of the mat!
