Four friends cut a hole in a roof to get their buddy to Jesus. Be that kind of friend.

Friendship gets measured in inconvenience, and these four broke somebody’s roof. Carrying a grown man across town was already the hard part, and when the front door was blocked they did property damage rather than go home and say they tried. Most of us stop at the first obstacle because stopping is reasonable. The story is remembered because they did not take the reasonable exit.

Be inconvenienced for one friend this week in a way that costs you something real. Drive the distance, give up the evening, carry the thing, stay on the phone past when you wanted to.
