"Then who can be saved?" Mark 10:26.
Words that describe the state of mind of Jesus' followers are these: Astounded. Way beyond measure. Shocked. What are they so disturbed about? This: How hard it is for rich people to go to heaven when they die. Now, it seems odd that they, who are hardly rich, get so upset over this, right? It's as though they think, If people God favored with riches don't get in, what does that say about the rest of us whom God has not so blessed? Jesus agrees with this assessment: It's impossible. People can't. Good News: God can. All things are possible with God.
We meet with a brother or sister today and look up to God for our hope of life. And, together, we give thanks that he realizes our salvation in yielding all to Christ.
