Mar 10:27 “And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men
it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.”
The disciples had just seen the encounter between Jesus and
the rich man desiring heaven.
The rich man he had everything except heaven and was faced
with understanding that with man alone many things are impossible… especially
eternal life!
We love stories about the victorious underdog, about the
person who is told he or she can’t do something, then works harder than
everyone else around him or her and accomplishes it.
Movies and novels about events like these are often
heartfelt, wonderful and uplifting. But what do they really tell us about
ourselves?
Jesus clearly stated that there is such a thing as
“impossibility” for man “but not with God. For all things are possible with
God.”
What this means is that ultimately, God is the Hero.
We, as His creation, have a part to play in His story, as
little “h” heroes. We are the supporting cast that may have a brave scene or a
series of profound lines, but in the real story, the real big “H” Hero is God.
The great thing about not being the hero is that we never
have to worry about not being good or big enough to play the role.
God graciously brings us into His wonderful story and gives
us far more than a supporting role, He gave us His Son and His shed blood, and
ultimately fulfilling a role we could not pull off!
God’s miracles are birthed out of man’s impossibilities!
