When Jesus Saw Their Faith: young people in Beaver and a beloved teacher
One of my favorite Bible stories is the story of the paralytic lowered down through the roof by his faithful friends who hope that at Jesus’ word or by his touch their friend might be healed. The Gospel writers tell us that when Jesus saw the faith of the friends he was moved with compassion and forgave the man of his sins and healed his body of its brokenness.
Tuesday night’s community prayer service for Beaver Area High School chemistry teacher Steve Witowich was a marvelous story of the faith of friends. Not much is known about Mr. Witowich’s personal faith or if he had a personal faith. Right now that doesn’t matter much. Steve remains in critical care fighting the ravages of vicious virus.
