Forever Friends

Mark 2:1-16
Mark’s gospel records (3) ways to tell if you are a REAL FRIEND:
1. REAL FRIENDS bring their friends to Jesus! (Mark 2:1-4)
“And they come into him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was born of four….and when they could not come night unto him….they uncovered the roof….they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.”
2. REAL FRIENDS bring their friends to Jesus to be forgiven, because they’ve been forgiven! (Mark 2:5-11)
“When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.”
• Jesus saw their faith (Faith moves the Master)
• Jesus forgave his sin
3. REAL FRIENDS bring their friends to Jesus, then they find FREEDOM! (Mark 2:1)
“And immediately he arose, took up the bed…they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.”
• Jesus heals spiritual sickness
• Jesus heals physical sickness
Why not purpose in your heart to get a FRIEND to Jesus?
