When the Scriptures say “…with God nothing shall be impossible,” it does not warrant using this truth as an Aladdin’s lamp in every situation. While all things certainly are possible, it is not applicable when voiding God’s predestined plan. It is perfectly right to pray, in dire circumstances, “If it be possible, let this cup pass from me.” Our Lord did this. But it must always be followed by a “…nevertheless,” accepting His will, even though it be a cross.
James and John, along with their mother, requested that these two brothers might sit on either side of Jesus in His Kingdom, to which He responded, “…[it] is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.” Yes, all things are possible with God, but it’s only possible within His will. The world says, “Never say never,” but the Christian is to always say, “Nevertheless.”
