The Friends Who Cut Through the Roof — a 5-minute devotion for Bantay 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.
Parents in Bantay often ask what to do when siblings are years apart in age. Read Mark 2:1-12 together, then split the question: ask the younger child what happened in the story, and ask the older one why "faith carried by friends" is harder than it sounds.
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: on the way through Bantay tomorrow, one person says the first half of "When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralysed man, 'Son, your sins are forgiven.'" and someone else finishes it. Three tries and it is memorised.
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?
