Kids activity ✨✨✨✨
A paralyzed man has friends who refuse to give up on him. When they can’t reach Jesus because of the crowd, they climb the roof, break it open, and lower him down. Jesus sees their faith, forgives the man’s sins, and then heals him so he can walk.

🔑 3 Powerful Points
1. Who You Surround Yourself With Matters
Those friends changed that man’s life.
* He couldn’t walk…
* But he had people who would carry him
👉 You need people who will push you toward God, not away from Him.
⸻
2. Faith Takes Action
They didn’t just believe Jesus could heal—they did something about it.
* The door was blocked ❌
* The crowd was too big ❌
* The roof became the answer ✅
👉 Faith isn’t just words. It moves, climbs, digs, and doesn’t quit.

3. Jesus Cares About Your Heart First
Before healing the man’s body, Jesus said:
“Your sins are forgiven.”
👉 God is more concerned with your soul than your situation.
Jesus tells him:
“Get up, take your mat, and go home.”
And instantly… he walks.
👉 This proves Jesus has authority over both sin and sickness.
Luke 5: 17-26
💬 Real-Life Questions
* Who are the “friends” in your life right now?
* Are you helping carry others… or are you the one needing help?
* What obstacle have you been letting stop you from getting to Jesus?
