1-12節--四位好友

馬可福音 第2章

這個故事有哪一點最吸引你？是那名癱子得著基督的醫治？抑或那四位朋友的信心？

我們讀這故事的時候，一定會想知道更多的細節。究竟是誰提議用擔架床把那名癱子送到耶穌面前？當他們看見屋內擠滿了人，究竟是誰建議說：「讓我們把他抬到屋頂」？他們從哪裡找來麻繩，把癱子連同整張擔架床縋到耶穌面前？那幾位朋友看見癱子得醫治後，有甚麼反應？他們有沒有把拆破的屋頂修理好？那名癱子有沒有感謝他的朋友？

那四位朋友的信心當然叫耶穌大為感動。祂不單沒有因為他們的打擾而不快，反而被他們的信心和熱心所感動。祂看見癱子從屋頂縋下，便非常樂意地做了兩件事。首先，祂對那人說，他的罪被赦免了。接著，祂便吩咐他起來行走。那人依從耶穌的話去做，立即就得醫治了！

我們可以從這個故事學到甚麼功課呢？我們怎樣才能引領朋友或鄰居來到基督的面前？我們必須像那四位朋友一樣，要有熱心、愛心、信心和決心，才能親自帶領朋友來到基督的面前，讓他們直接認識基督，得著祂的赦免和醫治。

我們有沒有這顆熱心呢？我們有沒有在禱告中，記念那些未得救的朋友呢？我們有沒有主動邀請或幫助他們來到基督面前呢？我們是否該集合幾位信徒的力量，以致能發揮更大果效呢？故事中的癱子，他的最大需要其實是要基督為他解除罪的束縛；我們的朋友又何嘗沒有這個需要呢？

禱告：

「主啊，求你賜我一顆愛人的心，讓我懂得引領我的朋友來到你的面前。」

WHEN FOUR MEN BROUGHT THEIR FRIEND TO CHRIST
BIBLE READING: Mark 2: 1 – 12

What do you think is the most wonderful part of this story? Do you think it was the healing of the paralysed man or do you think it was the faith of the four men who brought him to Christ?

We would love to know more details about it all. Who suggested this stretcher bearing? When they got to the house, who said, ‘Let’s go up to the roof’? Where did they find ropes to help them lower the sick man down in front of Christ? What did the friends do afterwards? Was the sick man very grateful for all that they did? Did they put the roof back afterwards?

The faith of the four men certainly spoke to Jesus. He seemed thrilled with the whole situation, rather than being bothered by the interruption. He gladly did two things. First he said that the man’s sins were forgiven. Then he told him to get up and walk. The man did so and was healed immediately!

Is there any lesson for us here today? What will it take to bring some of our neighbours and friends to Christ? It may take our active friendship. Just like those four men long ago, our friends may need us to bring them face to face with Jesus Christ. Are we prepared to do it?

Who is there that you are praying for that they might be saved? As their friend, do you need to take one step more and help them find Christ? What bridge of friendship could you build that might begin the process of bringing them to him? Could you ask God today to help you be a true friend to your friends and bring them to Christ? This man’s greatest need was spiritual. It is the same for your friends.

A PRAYER:

‘Lead me to some soul today

O teach me, Lord, just what to say.’
