Commentary on Matthew 19:26
Theological / DevotionalBeheld them. That is, Jesus probably observed the expression of astonishment on the faces of the disciples.
This is impossible. Impossible, “with men” — but not “with God.” It is impossible for a rich man to get into heaven on the basis of human effort, because he has no means of freeing himself from the clutch of the love of riches upon his heart. For that matter, salvation is impossible for anyone on the basis of his own efforts. Only a miracle of divine grace will avail to save a rich man from a supreme love of riches, or any other man from his particular besetting sin (cf. Heb. 12:1).
All things are possible. That is, for the man who is willing to permit God to control his life (see Phil. 4:13). Only the power of God operating in a man’s life can bring about that transformation of character requisite for entrance into the kingdom of heaven.
