This is a lesson about the friends bringing a man that couldn t walk to see jesus but there were so many people they had to put a hole in the roof and let him down.

Man lowered through roof to see jesus.

You and i have friends who need to come to jesus. This bible activity helps middle and older children become familiar with the experience of the man jesus forgave and healed after the man s four friends lowered him down to jesus through a hole in the roof. This lesson is intended for preschool and out students really enjoyed the projects. So 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.

There were four men carrying a man that was paralyzed. Point out that jesus healed both the man s physical problem and his heart. Luke 5 19 tells us 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. The friends climbed up an outside staircase and dug a hole through the roof.

The four men carried their friend up to the roof and made an opening in the roof. Jesus was impressed by the faith of these men. Then they lowered the man down through the roof to where jesus was. When they couldn t get near jesus they went to the roof and uncovered the roof.

When the man s friends carried him to the house where jesus was staying they found the house to be packed with people wanting to hear jesus and be healed by him. They lowered their friend down to the place where jesus was. Since they were unable to get to jesus through the crowd they uncovered the roof above him made an opening and lowered the paralytic on his mat. Someone that is crippled and disabled they wanted to get close to jesus but the house was so full of people that they couldn t get to 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. Berean literal bible and not being able to come near to him on account of the crowd they removed the roof where he was and having broken it up they let down the pallet on which the paralytic was lying. When jesus saw how much faith these four men had he not only healed the paralyzed man he even forgave him of all his sins. Mark s gospel describes the process as digging through it 2 4.
