Jesus looked at them and said, with man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God — the paradox of salvation is stated at its maximum: human impossibility, divine possibility. With man this is impossible — the entry into the kingdom cannot be achieved, earned, or worked toward sufficiently by any human being, rich or poor. But not with God: the same God for whom all things are possible (Genesis 18:14, Jeremiah 32:17) can do what no human achievement can accomplish — bring a person into the kingdom through grace.
