Jesus looked hard at them and said, "No chance at all if you think you can pull it off yourself. Every chance in the world if you trust God to do it."
Taken aback, Jesus said, "I've yet to come across this kind of simple trust in Israel, the very people who are supposed to know all about God and how he works. This man is the vanguard of many outsiders who will soon be coming from all directions—streaming in from the east, pouring in from the west, sitting down at God's kingdom banquet alongside Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Then those who grew up 'in the faith' but had no faith will find themselves out in the cold, outsiders to grace and wondering what happened."
Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me and everything will be all right."
Because of the miraculous signs Jesus did in Jerusalem at the Passover celebration, many began to trust in him.
Put your trust in the light while there is still time; then you will become children of the light.
[ Jesus, the Way to the Father ] “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.
Matthew 19:26 Matthew 8:10 Luke 8:50 John 2:23 John 12:36 John 14:1
Open your Bible prayerfully; read it carefully; obey it joyfully.
