Mark 10:27

Mark 10:27
Notice that Jesus doesn’t correct the disciples. They are thinking nobody can get saved if rich people can’t. Well, if the basis for salvation is anything other than the grace of God, then the answer is yes, nobody can get saved. And that is what Jesus wants his followers to understand.
So, only by the grace of God is anyone able to be saved. This is why Jesus doesn’t modify the disciples words. He confirmed that it is an impossibility for us to be saved. But God is in the impossibility business.

Heavenly Father, thank you for making the impossible possible! May we never get over the miracle of salvation. That you have made your grace available to us is so wonderful. You give freely, and you really love us. Thank you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
