Four times in the Gospels, Jesus says “all things are possible.” Twice it is “with God” that all things are possible. Once it is “all things are possible to him who believes.” And finally, most poignantly, Jesus says, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for You.”

“All things are possible.” It’s a message of hope. It’s a message of possibility. It’s a message we all want to hear.

That’s why Luke 17:1 is so shocking. Here Jesus says, “It is Impossible.” IMpossible? How can that be?

It is a question that opens Charlotte Mason’s thoughtful and thought-provoking poem on this passage in Luke. It was never published, but you can read or hear it today here.
