It appears that one of the most difficult things to happen in life today is for a rich person to be saved. One day while Jesus was teaching a rich ruler approached Him about being saved and entering God’s kingdom. Jesus knew his heart so knew that was the place to test him. He told the man that he needed to keep the commandments. As hard as it is to believe, he said that he had kept them since his youth. The next test hit home, “Okay, sell everything you have and give it to the poor.” He couldn’t do this and walked away discouraged.
Jesus talked about how hard it was for a rich man to be saved because he depends on himself. The disciples commented on for a camel to fit through an eye of a needle was impossible, so did that mean that no rich man could be saved?
Jesus answered plainly and clearly – “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” While intended for this particular situation it does make a point that we ought to consider – nothing is impossible with God. Nothing is too hard for God, nothing strains Him to accomplish.
I am thankful that we have a God with no impossibilities!
