Food for
Thought
By Rev. Morris Wood
Jesus Christ had been on a
tour of Galilee when he
returned to Capernaum to
Simon Peters house The
word got out that Christ had
returned to the city
Needless to say the people
came to Jesus in mass nurrv
bers The crowd was so large
that no one else could even
get near the doorway There
cait»e four men carrying a
man sick of palsy 'paralysis
on one side) These men rea
lized that it was impossible
to fight the crowd; so they
decided to climb up on the
roof top of Peter's house.
Here we need to realize
the construction of oriental
housing in Biblical days. This
house had a flat roof made of
day, tar, ashes and sand laid
on tiles or stone slabs which
were across supported
beams Grass often grew on
these roof tops They re
moved the roof and let down
the sick of paLsv lying on his
bed When Jesus saw the
faith of these four men
whose names are not men
tioned in the scriptures, he
was quite pleased; promptly
forgave the sins of the man
stricken with paralysis and
healed him so that he took
up his bed and walked away
What the Lord needs to-
day is more folk like these
four unnamed men who an*
willing to go out of their way
to advance the kingdom of
God
