About this episode

Lewis Roderick explores the surprising message of Jesus regarding our deepest needs and his identity.

You think you know what you need. Jesus says you might be wrong. Four friends drop a paralysed man at the feet of Jesus, fully expecting a miracle. What they get is something far more surprising, and far more costly. In this message Lewis Roderick takes us to chapter 5: 17 - 26 as learn what it tells us about the identity of Jesus, the nature of our deepest need, and why the cross is where these two realities collide.
