Matthew 19:26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Mark 14:36 And He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.” I was stunned when I looked at the Greek rendering of the above verses. Here is the more literal rendering in the Greek:
Matthew 19:26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men incapable, but with God all powerful." Mark 14:36 And He said, “Abba, Father, all powerful. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.” The word picture understanding of this word(s) possible/powerful is: to experience the pull towards support. As Yeshua faced the prospect of the cross, in Mark 14:36, He experienced the desire of the Father to give Yeshua His full and powerful support. We see the full blown evidence of this "powerful support" in the reality of the empty tomb. Our world is going through a death experience in which there is a very real sense of our being "incapable" of dealing with it. There has never been a more poignant moment for us to experience the desire of Abba to give us His full and powerful support. Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
