Glorious Impossible

Glorious is defined as "possessing or deserving glory" or "marked by great beauty and splendor". Psalm 72:19 And blessed be His Glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with His glory; Amen, and Amen.

Impossible is defined as "incapable of being or of occurring". When something defies all human logic, we say it's impossible and could never happen because it just doesn't fit into our limited mindset. Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

To the human way of thinking, these two words would never be put together. But with God, these two words make perfect sense. He sent His Glorious Impossible into this world to deliver it from it's bondage to sin and save all souls who will believe in Him.

And why is Jesus the Glorious Impossible?

He is God incarnate. He displays all the glory of God. John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

He was born of a virgin. Virgin births are not possible according to human reasoning. Many still scoff at it today. But nevertheless, He entered into the world via the Virgin Mary's womb. Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call His name Immanuel.

He heals the sick and dying with His spoken word. (Matthew 4:23-25) He walked on water. (Matthew 14:25) He mends broken spirits and hearts and makes people whole. (Psalm 147:3) He is the sole sustainer of the universe. (Colossians 1:16-17) All impossible.

He bruised and wounded and died for our sins. (Isaiah 53:3-5) He conquered death and rose again the third day. (Matthew 28:7) He ascended to Heaven and now sits at the right hand of God. (Acts 1:9) He will come again and call His saints home. ( I Thessalonians 4:16) He will conquer Satan. (Revelation 20:10) He will reign forever in Heaven. (Psalm 72:19)

Jesus Christ is the Glorious Impossible!!!

HALLELUJAH!!!!
