“But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26).
God had just spoken to a rich man who sadly walked away because he wasn’t willing to turn his back on his riches to follow Jesus. Today’s verse follows Jesus’ statement about it being easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven. This statement puzzled the disciples. They wondered who, then, could be saved. Jesus proceeded to answer with the words of today’s verse. All things are possible with the Lord. There was a chorus that contained the words:
“God can do anything but fail.” As far back as Genesis, God has proved there is “nothing too hard for Him.” Sarah could verify that when she conceived a son in her old age.
