I love watching videos of people doing tricks that seem impossible. As I watch I wonder who would even think that they could successfully do these things. Some of the tricks that these people do are very dangerous. Why would they risk their lives to perform tricks that have them skiing off cliffs, falling sixty or seventy feet into a pool of water, or jumping from the top of a building to another on a bicycle? I think some people are wired to attempt to do the impossible. Some who are young and think they are invincible just like to take chances. That's why a teenage boy will get behind the wheel of a car and drive it as fast as it will go. Most of us have done some dangerous things in our youth.
In the many attempts to do the impossible man has discovered that he can do more than anyone thought could be done. However, there are always limits. Some things are impossible for man. Staying young, strong and overcoming death are impossible for man. We will never be smart enough, or skilled enough to escape death.
Hopefully, mankind will come to understand that there is One in whom all things are possible. Our God who created us can do anything. Jesus proved many times that he could restore life to those who had died. He resurrected Lazarus from the tomb. Jesus told the disciples that he came to give life. He said, "I am the way, the truth and the life." This life he gives is much greater than the life we live here in this world. The life that Jesus gives is eternal life. The best thing about eternal life is that it is a life lived in the presence of our Lord. God allows us to do some pretty amazing things, but none of us can come close to doing the marvelous things that He can do. With God all things are possible.
