Since John the Baptist was imprisoned, Jesus had regularly been preaching the need for repentance and a spiritual rebirth. That’s what an invalid wanted, but he needed a way to get to Jesus; so, he asked four of his friends to carry him on his mat to the place where Jesus was. When they arrived there appeared to be no way of getting anywhere near Jesus. Determined to see Jesus, they made a hole in the roof and lowered the invalid right down in front of Jesus. He looked at the heart of the invalid and said the words the invalid wanted to hear…”Your sins are forgiven!” [Reflection is based on the Bible Reference – Mark 2:1-5]
