For God, everything is possible.

In his song, Moses proclaims the people’s weakness in the face of their enemies, and the power of God in rescuing them—‘the Lord will see his people righted: he will take pity on his servants.’

The rich young man was called by God, but, attached to his money, he turned away sad. ‘ It is hard for the rich’, said Jesus. ‘Well’, said his followers, ‘who can be saved?’ ‘For you human beings this is impossible: but for God everything is possible.’

‘We have left everything and followed you. What, then, are we to have?’ asked Peter. ‘A hundredfold—and eternal life.’
