Sovereign, Compassionate Aggressive Grace

Dear CrossPointe,

This Sunday we’ll look at Mark 2:1-12, one of my favorite scenes in the Gospels. In this text, four desperate friends bring their paralytic friend to Jesus, and, because of the crowds, they have to dig through the roof and lower him down to Jesus. That doesn’t happen everyday!

The exchange that follows among Jesus, the paralytic, and the protesting scribes is dense with gospel-truth and power. Take some time to read this passage slowly several times before Sunday. I’m really looking forward to digging into this beautiful story with you on Sunday!

Grace and peace,

Brad
