And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him; and when they had made an opening, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic lay.
This is one of my favorite miracles. In my mind it has always been called "against all odds" because it shows that even when people are in the way between you and God, trying to discourage you or distract you from the goal, or making the goal harder for you, there is always a means that God provides for us...even if it means breaking open the roof. People don't understand God--and therefore will try to rationalize and discourage us from whatever we are asking for, deeming it absurd--and neither do we, but as long as we have faith in Him, He will show us a way out. It shows how strong of faith we should have, and the many different, mysterious means that God uses to care for us.
