Description
"All Things Are Possible With God" is a photograph I shot of a tall wooden cross at the edge of a wooded area with a crown of thorns hanging from the top of the cross. This symbolizes the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on the cross. The scripture on the text comes from the Bible....Mark 10:27. The text reads "With man this is impossible, but not with God; All things are possible with God.
Jesus is referring to our salvation after talking to a rich young ruler who wants to know what he can do to get into heaven. Jesus tells him that he needs to follow His commandments. When Jesus gave him a list of them, the rich man said "All these things I have kept." The young man asked, “What am I still lacking?” (Matthew 19:20) Jesus replied, “If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me” (Matthew 19:21). At this, the young man “went away grieving for he was one who owned much property” (Matthew 19:22).
The rich young ruler lacked true faith to devote himself wholly to God. He also was not as blameless as he thought he was because he was guilty of loving himself and his possessions more than his neighbor. He couldn't be saved without Jesus and His ultimate sacrifice on the cross.
Then Jesus told him "With man, this (salvation) is impossible, but not with God; All things are possible with God." That is, God can take the things that are impossible to man, and make them possible because His power is unlimited, while ours is limited. While it is possible for man to be saved, it is impossible for man to accomplish the goal on his own. God’s unlimited power is needed to make the possibly impossible, possible. God requires a very high standard. Man cannot attain salvation on his own merits or with his vast riches, but only through the cross.
God made a way when the way was impossible for us.
