The Friends Who Cut Through the Roof — a 5-minute devotion for Mariakani families
Mark 2:1-12 · Faith carried by friends
The house was so crowded nobody else could get in, so four friends carried a paralysed man onto the roof, dug through it and lowered him down. Jesus saw their faith and told the man to get up and walk.
Use this one on the Mariakani weekend, when there is room for a longer conversation. Read Mark 2:1-12, talk through the question properly, then write the memory verse somewhere everyone will see it on Monday.
Memory verse
“When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralysed man, 'Son, your sins are forgiven.'”Mark 2:5
Table question
Who needs you to carry them to Jesus right now?
30-second prayer
Jesus, when our own faith is thin, thank you for friends who carry us. Amen.
Make it stick: pick one person in Mariakani — a neighbour, a grandparent, a classmate — and do the thing the story asks for before Sunday. Faith carried by friends only counts once it costs something.
Tomorrow: Jesus calls Levi from the tax booth (Mark 2:13-17). ArkQuest queues the next reading automatically, so nobody has to decide what comes after tonight.
On Mount Carmel, Elijah rebuilt an altar of twelve stones before calling on the Lord. What did the twelve stones represent?
