Daily Devotions: Your Faith Can Bring Healing to a Friend - March 20, 2026

Luke 5:20, 24 (ESV) - “And when he saw their faith, he said, ‘Man, your sins are forgiven you.’ … ‘But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins’—he said to the man who was paralyzed—‘I say to you, rise, pick up your bed and go home.’”

In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall reflects on the story of the paralyzed man in Luke 5 and the faith of the friends who brought him to Jesus. Scripture says the power of the Lord was present for Jesus to heal, yet the crowd filled the house so completely that no one else could get near Him.

Instead of rushing to get a good seat, these men went the opposite direction. They found their paralyzed friend, carried him to Jesus, and when they could not enter through the door, they opened the roof and lowered him down in front of the Lord. Seeing their faith, Jesus forgave the man’s sins and then healed him, demonstrating His authority.

Pastor Sumrall reminds believers that the focus should never be on watching miracles but on bringing people who need Jesus. When we bring the sick and the hurting to Him in faith, we create opportunities for healing and for lives to be changed.
