Mark 10:28

"Jesus, looking at them, said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God.”"

Key Reflection

In Mark 10:28, Jesus addresses the disciples' sense of limitation and impossibility as expressed in their conversation. The statement "With men it is impossible" reflects the human perspective, acknowledging the bounds set by natural limitations and societal expectations. By contrast, "but not with God, for all things are possible with God," introduces the divine dimension, highlighting that when God is involved, what seems impossible to humans becomes achievable. This passage underscores the transformative power of faith in the face of human perceived limits, emphasizing the infinite possibilities when trusting in God's capability and will.
