Jesus does not speak and teach to create controversy. He speaks to call sinners to himself, to humble the proud, and to glorify his Father. His teaching humbles us and gives us assurance. This is where we get hope for the people we love who seem beyond hope — if our conversions our dependent on human character, we would fail. But nothing is too hard for God. When God calls the dead, they rise. When God draws his sheep, they come. And, all glory goes to God, not to us — this is why God saves the way He does. All glory belongs to Him.
