Re: Verse reading–Luke 18:18-30 (Day Three)
“Who then can be saved?” This question is a good one as far as it goes, but it doesn’t go very far. Despite its passive voice, it’s still concerned with the detection of some quality, some attribute of a person that would signal his acceptance by God. The question looks for its answer among men. But it won’t find the answer among men, for that is the realm of the impossible. When we seek God, when we lay down our efforts to impress him, when we ask him to “forgive me, a sinner”, we’ve begun to turn our eyes to the realm where all things become possible.
