Matthew 19:26
26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Dana's Thoughts:
Jesus says this to his disciples because of an encounter they all just had. A rich young ruler comes to Jesus and asks Him what it takes to get to heaven. Jesus responds by telling the young man to keep the commandments. At the time the Pharisees were teaching many different commandments to follow which is why the young man responds with "which ones?" After Jesus tells him which ones the young ruler says "I have followed them, why do I still lack?"
In this case Jesus asks the young ruler to give up all of his money and possessions and follow Him. Sadly, the man could not. which leads us to this verse. Our salvation is not dependent on what we can do but what Christ can do and has done. Maybe you feel like something is lacking in your walk with God, try asking Him what he wants you to do and trust that he will show you. Then hold on to this verse because sometimes what He wants is impossible for us to do without him.
