Be a Part of God's Miracle

Mark 10:27 (NASB 2020) ²⁷ Looking at them, Jesus said, “With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.”

Jesus has just seen a rich man turn Him down. He told them it was as hard as a camel going through the eye of a needle as for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. Many commentators have come up with an explanation of a door in which camels would crawl through to enter a city that had closed its gates. The problem is that Jesus related this to impossible. It may have been humbling for a camel to get on its knees to go through this door but it certainly wasn't impossible. Therefore, the rich must experience a miracle to be saved.

Most of us who can read this blog must admit that in the world, we are the rich ones. To have access to computers and the time to use them is a luxury. The truly poor have no luxuries. They look to Jesus for they have no where else to look. We could see many ways to go. We must be miracles.

God used the people around you and your circumstances to bring you to Himself. He moved His creation so that you would come to know Him. He placed those who would speak to you about Himself in your path. He preserved your life to have the moment you would be brought under conviction. He made your realize that you had a choice to receive Him. You are His miracle.

You are also one of His miracle workers. No, you don't perform the miracle but you are a part of it. You are the one who will tell one of your rich friends about Jesus. You will see them come to know Him and know that when it seemed impossible, God made it happen.

People think that one miracle for God is more spectacular than another. That is like saying that one miracle was harder for God than another. Walking on water is no harder than feeding 5000 with only a little bread and fish. Splitting the Red Sea is no harder than making a blind man see. Bringing about the salvation of a rich man is no harder than enabling a crippled man to walk. Maybe they seem impossible, but they aren't with God.

Do you have someone who just will not give his or her heart to the Lord? You have prayed and shared with them. You continue to do so but it seems more impossible than ever. But it isn't. Continue to pray. Continue to use those opportunities to tell them. Be a part of God's miracle.
