Nothing is impossible with God.
No really, nothing.
That’s what the angel told Mary right after he said that she would give birth to Jesus. Savior-of-the-world-Jesus.
But before all that, the angel Gabriel went to Zechariah, husband to Elizabeth, who was a relative of Mary’s. Gabriel told Zechariah: Dude, your wife is going to have a baby, even though you’re both old.
Well, the Bible says “well along in years” but it's the same thing basically. (Luke 1:7)
The baby would be named John.
John the Baptist.
Zechariah, like any human being, was a little skeptical. He wanted to know how he could be sure. Because he didn’t believe, the angel caused Zechariah to become mute until his child would be born.
So fast-forward a bit. Elizabeth is 6 months pregnant now.
Gabriel, the angel, visits Mary. He tells her that she’s going to have a baby who “will be called the Son of the Most High God” (verse 32). Mary wanted to know how this would happen...
The angel explained and then said in verses 36 and 37: “Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who is said to be barren is in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God.”
Nothing is impossible with God.
The fact is that the angel proved it by saying that Mary’s old family member was pregnant too. Mary wasn’t alone. And this crazy thing that the angel was saying-was actually quite possible.
For nothing is impossible with God.
This Christmas, I want you to know that God sent Jesus as a gift for your salvation.
I want you to know that He is the only reason for the season.
I want you to celebrate those things.
But I also want you to celebrate the fact that nothing is impossible with God. Nothing.
You're not outside His reach. He is beside you always, drawing you close.
Your cancer is not too bad. He is stronger than your sickness.
Your finances are not too tight. God is more than enough.
Your heart is not too broken. He is the Mender of Broken Hearts.
Your life is not too messed up. He is the Life-Redeemer.
You are not too______. God is everything you need.
No more looking at your life through the lens of doom.
Take off those ridiculous blinders. Let the scales fall from your eyes.
Jesus is bringing sight.
Sight for all of the miracles He is doing in your life daily.
Let the New Year be one of new vision, as you see things as God sees them.
Nothing is impossible with God.
