Mark 10:27
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.”
The only thing anyone needs to be saved is the one thing most of them refuse to have... nothing.
Everyone who thinks they’re someone thinks too much of themselves. They have too much. They imagine salvation is a high jump when it is actually a limbo — not a matter of how high can you fly, but how low can you go?
1 Corinthians 1:28-29
God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.
Those on the ground looking up at Babel in the distance were better off than those on its roof looking down their noses. That proud tower came down and was reduced to nothing.
James 4:6
God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.
Everyone gets something. The proud get push back and the humble get help.
“When we can do nothing Jesus can do all things; let us enlist His powerful aid upon our side, and all will be well.” — Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Morning and Evening
