Matthew 19:26 With God All Things Are Possible

Matthew 19:26 (KJV) But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Our Lord speaks these words with regard to the difficulty a rich man will face in coming to the Lord due to the encumbering nature of riches in his life – Matthew 19:23-24 (KJV)  Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. 24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

The rich man who repents of his sins likewise can be saved. The disciples were concerning with their well-being having given up all to follow Christ.

The Lord assures them with these words – Matthew 19:28-30 (KJV)  And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. 30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first. Amen.
