Matthew 19:26 - "Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”"
Mark 9:23 - " If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”
These two Scriptures have been an encouragement to generations of God's children. All things are possible with God. All we need to do is believe.
Ephesians 1:19-21 - "and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come."
Why are all things possible with God?
His power is incomparable. His power is greater than all other powers earthly or spiritual.
Matthew 26:39 - "Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”
All though all authority and power is in Christ and at our disposal.We must take the position of Jesus, not as I will, but as you will. This is a hard pill to swallow. Christ did not have to die, but it was in His Father's plan, and Christ willing gave up His life that we might have life in Him.
Isaiah 55:9 - “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."
If you look at the cross in human eyes, it makes absolutely no sense. Satan thought that He defeated Christ on the cross. Yet it was through this selfless act that salvation was brought to all people who put their faith in Christ and the cross.
We have all questioned God, and even doubted God. Why? Why?
It makes no sense to me God. Why have you allowed this to happen when I know you have all power to keep it from happening or all power to make it happen. It is at times like these we need to give all our thoughts, and desires to Christ. We need to lay them at the cross, and say as Jesus said, not my will be done, but your will because my mind is finite and your mind is infinite. My way seems the best, but your way is always the best.
