Paradoxical, but true. Take your stand “beside” (<\/SPAN><\/span>) God and the impossible becomes possible. Clearly then Jesus meant the humanly impossible by the parabolic proverb about the camel going through the needle’s eye. God can break the grip of gold on a man’s life, but even Jesus failed with this young ruler. <\/P> <\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1) “And he said,” <\/strong>(ho de elpen) “Then he said,” or responded to their questioning hearts.<\/p>\n 2) “The things that are impossible with men,” <\/strong>(ta adunata para anthropois) “The things that are not possible with men, to be saved apart from God’s calling and drawing, Mat 11:28<\/span>; Joh 6:37<\/span>; Rev 22:17<\/span>.<\/p>\n 3) “Are possible with God.” <\/strong>(dunata para tou theou estin) “They are possible with God,” for the Gospel is that power, Rom 1:16<\/span>; Isa 1:18<\/span>; Heb 7:25<\/span>.

He can enable wealthy men to walk humbly before Him as Abraham did, just as He can enable a poor man like Lazarus to do so. He is able to save to the uttermost all those who come to Him through Jesus. For He is the God of the impossible. It is a reminder that but for God’s all prevailing goodness not one of us would be saved. We owe any hope that we have to God.<\/p>\n But nevertheless it is still necessary for us to thrust aside anything that hinders us from following God fully. For He could have added that in the case of this young man the problem was that he was too bound to his possessions. He knew that unless they were removed they would ever be a burden around his neck. His heart would never really be set on God. Thus he had to choose between God and Mammon, and he had to choose decisively. That at least is spared to those who have few riches (although even those can get a grip on us).<\/p>\n 27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Ver. 27.
