With God All Things Are Possible

“But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26)

There was a day a young man came to Jesus asking him, what was the one good thing that he could do to obtain eternal life. In order to prove this was impossible, The Lord responded, keep the commandments. Rather than responding, be merciful to me a sinner, the young declared, I have keep them all from my youth, what could I possibly then be lacking? He was self-righteous.

Jesus takes another step to reveal the man’s true condition and need of a Saviour. He tells the young man, go and sell all that you own and give to the poor, and in doing so you will lay up treasure in Heaven. The young man turned away from Jesus, no longer interested in obtaining eternal life. He was very rich.

Jesus begins to explain to His disciples the difficulty of a self-righteous, rich man entering into the kingdom of Heaven...It is easier
for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. The puzzled disciples asked the question, “Who then can be saved?”

I am grateful for the Lord’s reply, “With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.”

Brethren, we may label that acquaintance, that friend, that relative as a “impossible case”, and think to ourselves, they will never get saved. Look up my brother! There is nothing to hard for God! With God ALL things are possible!
