All Is Possible
Luke 1:37
For nothing will be impossible with God.

All Is Possible
The Bible is filled with seemingly impossible scenarios. An ark rescues eight souls, a sea parts, lions’ mouths are kept shut, and we could go on. Each of these could be explained by scientific phenomenon. However, the birth of our Lord is impossible to explain away. Either Mary was a virgin who conceived in a miraculous way, or she was not. There is no possible scientific explanation. In fact, it is such an impossible suggestion, even Mary could hardly believe it, asking, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”
Yet with God, even the impossible becomes possible. Our Savior was born of a virgin. The infinite God, Creator of the universe, was contained in in a single cell at the conception of Jesus. He would continue to grow for nine months in her womb, and after His birth, continue the next thirty-three years on this earth, always limited by His physical body. “Impossible!” the skeptics yell. Yet in Christ, the impossible was made possible.
What’s more, we poor, miserable sinners can now stand before our righteous God because of that miraculously-conceived Child – reconciliation with the Father because of the Son. For nothing is impossible with God.
For nothing will be impossible with God.
