This is the third sermon in the "It's personal" sermon series, and is based on Jesus' encounter with the paralyzed man as his friends bring him to Jesus for healing. Jesus' priorities and responses throughout this gospel is sometimes surprising and not what we would expect. Through his encounters with people, and his actions he was revealing that he was indeed the Messiah, yet most of those in the crowd were not able to recognize Him or respond to Him for who He is. How would we respond if we were one among them? How would we respond to Him if He asked us to do something today for Him in our world?
