Ever consider a biblical application of how and why your friends matter?

In the story of Jesus' healing the paralytic man, 4 friends overcome great odds by tearing a hole in the roof of the house Jesus was in to lower their paralyzed friend down for a miracle.

And do you know what Jesus said? “When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” The bible doesn’t say he saw the paralyzed man’s faith, as in just the 1 person desperately wanting the miracle. It says that he saw “their” faith, as in ALL of them.

This man was healed by his friend’s faith.
