‘And Jesus looking on them said to them, “With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” '

Jesus now points out that the age of impossibilities has arrived. He simply points out to them that God can in fact save both rich and poor. For while doing this is impossible with men, with God all things are possible. By this He first makes clear that salvation is a miracle that only God can accomplish, and secondly He draws special attention to its source. It is those whom God has chosen to ‘bless' who will be saved. The idea that God can do the impossible is firmly imbedded in the Old Testament. See Genesis 18:14; Job 42:2; Zechariah 8:6. And now it has begun to manifest itself.
