“The miracle before us is one among many proofs that _with Christ nothing is impossible_.

The Saviour of sinners is Almighty. He “calleth those things which be not as though
they were.” (**Rom. 4:17**)

When He wills a thing, it shall be done. When He commands a thing, it shall come
to pass.

He can create light out of darkness, order out of disorder, strength out of weakness,
joy out of sorrow, and food out of nothing at all. Forever let us bless God that
it is so!

We might well despair, when we see the corruption of human nature, and the desperate
hardness and unbelief of man’s heart, if we did not know the power of Christ.

‘Can these dry bones live? Can any man or woman be saved? Can any child, or friend
of ours ever become a true Christian? Can we ourselves ever win our way through 
to heaven?’

Questions like these could never be answered, if Jesus was not Almighty.

But thanks be to God, Jesus has all power in heaven and earth.

He lives in heaven for us, able to save to the uttermost, and therefore we may hope.”
