Why is salvation impossible for us? And what has Jesus done to make it possible?

Natalie Abbott takes a deep dive into Luke 18 and helps us understand one of Jesus’s most hope-filled—and often misunderstood—statements.

We often use this verse when life feels difficult or overwhelming. But in its original context, Jesus is talking about something even bigger: salvation. We cannot make ourselves right with God. We cannot earn his favor or fix our own souls.

Natalie walks us through the stories surrounding Luke 18:27, including the Pharisee and the tax collector, the rich ruler, and Zacchaeus. You’ll be reminded that salvation is not something we achieve through good behavior, hard work, or religious effort. It is the impossible gift God has made possible through Jesus.
