With God, all things are possible

Two verses in particular state make the statement that nothing is impossible for God – Luke 1:37 and Mark 10:27 (both NLT here).

The first was what the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and told her she would bear Jesus. She asked how this would be possible, given she was a virgin. Gabriel said “For nothing is impossible with God.”

The second place is after the rich young ruler left Jesus (Mark 10). Jesus said it was easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to go to heaven. The disciples asked who could be saved. Verse 27

Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God.”

Everything is possible with God. Nothing is too big for God.

He can deliver from enemy armies (2 Chronicles 20).
He can pay off a debt (2 Kings 4:1-7).
He can make an axe head float (2 Kings 6:1-7).
He can stop time (Joshua 10:12-14) or turn it back (Isaiah 38:1-8).
He can raise the dead (John 11), heal the blind (John 9), lame (Mark 2:1-12), the leper (Mark 1:40-45), and those with crippled body parts (Mark 3:1-6).
He can feed thousands from one lunch (John 6:1-14) (Listen to my sermon “Multiplication” from 7/26/2009).
He can part the Red Sea (Exodus 14).

If God can take care of all of that, then no problem we face is too big for Him.
