Nothing Impossible With God
Backgrounder on Matthew 16-19:
Matthew records crucial incidents
from Jesus’ life in these chapters.
Though Christ takes time to heal
an epileptic boy, pay His Temple
tax and confront the increasingly
hostile Pharisees, it is clear that His
primary concern is for His disciples
-those He will soon leave behind to
continue the work He had begun.
Healings and discourses, miracles
and parables all focus on Jesus’
faithful followers to prepare them
for the difficult day’s just ahead.
Lord, we place our Faith in You:
The disciples asked Jesus
privately: Why couldn’t we
cast out that (boy’s) demon?
Because of your Unbelief,
Jesus told them. I assure you,
even if you had faith as small as
a mustard seed you could say
to this mountain: Move from
here to there, and it would move.
Nothing would be impossible
(Matthew 17:19-20). Amen.
