What brought about the answer was a puzzling question His disciples asked Him after hearing how hard it is for a rich person to enter into the kingdom of heaven (Luke 18:18-27), Who then can be saved?
I think the disciples were more puzzled with the frailty of themselves than with the concept of being rich. They must have had a moment where they looked within, saw the turmoil that was present within them and asked the only logical question that would come from all that frustration and seeming defeat.
But Thank God for Jesus because in Him dying on the cross, He made everything that was impossible in human strength and effort possible. He didn't just unlock the door to eternal life, but He unlocked the door of saving a human being that is inherently flawed. He made the impossible possible, a work that can be undone.
Luke 18:26-27 " Those who heard this said, Then who in the world can be saved? He replied, "What is impossible for people is possible with God"
