No way to go back

Thursday February 23rd Mark 2: 2 A crowd gathered, jamming the entrance so no one could get in or out. He was teaching the Word. 3They brought a paraplegic to him, carried by four men. 4When they weren't able to get in because of the crowd, they removed part of the roof and lowered the paraplegic on his stretcher. The crowd was hopeful, the men carrying the paraplegic were hopeful, the paraplegic himself was hopeful, there was something new happening in this Jesus. Their persistence paid off, they were able to get their friend an audience with Christ and he was healed. I think that on that day he was not the only one healed. The ones who carried him saw something new. The crowd saw something new. The disciples saw something new. Being a part of that experience means there is no way to go back to what was. Some still tried. We still try. But somehow, that newness keeps breaking in. It’s called God’s love.
