—Mark 6:45-51
by: Andrew J. Camenga.
The challenge for our mind and heart will probably always remain: "with God all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26). Those words were said in the context of discussing the impossibility of any rich human entering the Kingdom of God. Yet, the image Jesus was justifying was that of a camel squirming through the eye of a needle. That which is impossible for us is possible with God.
At this point in Jesus' ministry, the disciples may have accepted Jesus' authority over demons, sickness, sin, and weather. Walking on water fell into an entirely new category. The challenge yesterday and the challenge today is to accept the reality that with God ALL THINGS are possible.
