But With God Everything Is Possible!

Scripture

Matthew 19

25 The disciples were astounded. “Then who in the world can be saved?” they asked.
26 Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.”

Observation

Humanly speaking there are a lot of things that are impossible, but with God everything is possible. Salvation, humanly speaking is something that is impossible because we can't save ourselves but God can save us.

None of us deserve to be saved. We are all rotten sinners and there is no way for us to get into Heaven on our own efforts. We deserve to go to Hell.

I love this glimpse of Jesus with his disciples when the scripture says, “Jesus looked at them intently...” I wonder as He looked at them if His mind went to the cross and the thought of what He would go through to provide the way for them to be saved. He understood that at that moment they were basing salvation on human effort and not on Divine Intervention. Jesus came to this earth to save sinners! He had a Divine appointment with the cross.

Application

The Good News is that Salvation is possible through the Lord Jesus Christ and that Good News is to be shared with the world around us.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, the Good News today is “Jesus” and the eternal salvation He offers everyone who calls on Him. Osama Bin Laden's death is news. I don't think it is all that good of news. There will be just more killing because of his death. What the people need in this world is Jesus. Help us take the message of “salvation” to a world that is swirling out of control away from You. I pray that the real “Good News” will be able to penetrate even the darkest places on this planet. Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with You God everything is possible.
