There are so many printables available for this lesson so i decided to create this project to use after the lesson and they really enjoyed it.
How jesus healed a paralyzed man through the roof.
One could be seen as the paralyzed man was able to get up and walk.
Net bible when they were not able to bring him in because of the crowd they removed the roof above jesus.
But jesus saw a need much greater than his paralyzed legs.
19 but not finding any way to bring him in because of the crowd they went up on the roof and let him down through the tiles with his stretcher into the middle of the crowd in front of jesus.
They dug through it and let down the mat on which the paralyzed man was lying.
The story of how jesus healed a paralyzed man shows two types of miracles.
A man who could not walk wanted to be healed by jesus.
Ask the child if they can explain why it would be easier for jesus to forgive sins than heal the man.
18 and some men were carrying on a bed a man who was paralyzed.
19 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.
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.
It can be used for several different lessons and it can used for any group discussion activity.
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.
20 when jesus saw their faith he said.
Plus the roof wasn t made with large pieces of wood and didn t have shingles but had tiles or plaster that could be lifted or broken through easily to make a hole.
Jesus healed man that was lowered through the roof.
And they were trying to bring him in and to set him down in front of him.
But the first miracle was unseen as jesus said he was granting forgiveness for the man s sins.
Since they couldn t bring him to jesus because of the crowd they made an opening in the roof over the place where he was.
God can always see the heart of a person luke 16 15.
The man on the mat was not able to walk.
Jesus knew that the man was a sinner like every man woman and child.
Luke 5 18 25 new international version niv.
He saw the man s sinful heart.
The friends climbed up an outside staircase and dug a hole through the roof.
He had come to jesus to be healed because he was certain that jesus could heal him.
Point out that jesus healed both the man s physical problem and his heart.
