He Saw their faith...He said "Yes"
"...[T]hey removed the roof above Him, and when they had made an opening they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay. And when Jesus saw their faith, he said..." Mark 2:4-5
Its important to ask how Jesus saw their faith.What was it that revealed that they were operating by faith? How did Jesus respond? He saw that
they pressed in and did not give up. Persistence is a key ingredient in kingdom living. They knew He was the healer and that He would want to bring healing. if they didn't believe God would do it, why would they pull apart the roof and lower the man down? God did in fact enjoy and bless their faith. He forgave the man and healed him
THE EXCUSES THEY COULD HAVE HAD:
They would have seen the crowds and given up because it wasn't God's will or timing. They could have thought it was presumption to assume God would heal. They could have worried about what it would look like to everyone else. God likes boldness due to faith in Him.
