Day 3: The Friends Who Carry You to Jesus

Reading: Mark 2:1-12 and Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

Devotional: Four unnamed men refused to let their paralyzed friend stay on his mat. When the crowd blocked the door, they climbed the roof and dug through it. Their determination was not just about physical healing; it was about getting their friend in front of Jesus no matter the obstacle. This is what genuine Christian community looks like. It is inconvenient, persistent, and willing to make a mess for the sake of someone else's breakthrough. Consider who in your life is still lying on a mat. Consider who you have allowed to carry you. Real friendship moves toward Jesus together, not just toward comfort.
