So often in life we are confronted with seemingly impossible situations. It could be a new responsibility which we feel is beyond us, maybe a physical condition or simply a set of personal circumstances which are more than we can handle.
But remember, the impossible to us is possible with God.
When I read about the ministry of Jesus of Nazareth I find it interesting that he did not confine his ministry just to those people who believed he was the Son of God. The possibility thinking that Jesus spoke of, was available to everyone.
Jesus broke the boundaries of impossibility in people’s lives before they believed. In fact, he laid no prior condition on his listeners. If they could believe they would receive! Whether they decided to believe on him later was their personal choice.
This was precisely the experience of a blind man that Jesus healed. He sensed that Jesus was a man from God because his sight was restored but still had not come to a point of personal faith. Later though, Jesus met him again and told him who he was. His response was “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him.
Surely this is unconditional love in its purest form! That Jesus will respond to our need regardless of what we believe about him.
Ref. Mark 9:23, John 9:38. NIV.
