Matthew 19:23-30
The disciples were exceedingly amazed at the comments of the Lord Jesus Christ as He warned them that riches were a great hindrance to any who wanted to go to Heaven.
The Lord Jesus Christ said that “it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God” (24).
********
The disciples asked, “Who then can be saved?”
The Lord Jesus Christ reassured them with a glorious truth: “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible” (26).
No one is too hard for the Lord to save!
*******
The Lord Jesus Christ very soon demonstrated this truth to his disciples when he saved Zacchaeus, who was very rich and also a chief tax collector (Luke 19:1-10).
Tax collectors were generally wicked cheats.
As far as many Jews were concerned, they were beyond redemption.
*******
We must never lose heart when we encounter people who are hardened or indifferent to the message of the gospel.
The Lord Jesus Christ is able to melt the hardest of hearts.
He is able to save the vilest sinner.
He can easily break the chains of sin which enslave people!
*******
We think, ‘Impossible,” but Scripture says, “with God all things are possible.”
Let us persevere in prayer and in evangelism!
The Lord Jesus Christ has many a surprise for those who wait upon him.
*******
Peter began to speak about their commitment in following the Lord Jesus Christ.
He asked, “Therefore what shall we have?”
The Lord Jesus pointed out to him that no one is the loser for following him (27-29).
He said, “Everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit everlasting life.”
And this promise is for everyone!
*******
Earthly treasures and pleasures may be sacrificed, but what can compare with God’s blessing upon us, with eternal life and treasure in heaven?
*******
Come to the Lord God today and put our trust in Him.
With God all things are possible!
