In Luke 5, four friends refused to let anything stand between their paralyzed friend and Jesus; they carried his mat, climbed the roof, and made a way for him to encounter Jesus.
That’s what real community looks like. Sometimes we need someone to carry our mat, and sometimes God has called us to carry someone else’s. We’re called to be the kind of people who show up, pray, encourage, and help others move closer to Jesus. Find your people. Carry your people. Bring your people to Jesus.
