10:21 Mark “Jesus looked at him and loved him. "One thing you lack," he said. "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."“ (NIV) 10:16 Mark “And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them.“ (NIV) 10:14 Mark “When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.“ “ (NIV) 9:50 Mark “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with each other." (NIV) 9:40 Mark “for whoever is not against us is for us." (NIV) 9:37 Mark “Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me." (NIV) 9:35 Mark “Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, "Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all." " (NIV) 9:27 Mark “But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up" (NIV) 9:24 Mark “Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!" " (NIV) 9:23 Mark “ 'If you can'?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for one who believes." (NIV)
The disciples tried and failed. A boy possessed with a demon would not be cast out by them. Jesus is disappointed by their lack of faith. The boy’s father asks Jesus to help…’if’ He can. Jesus responds. It is a BOLD statement. He knows it… AND He is the only one who can back it up. Don’t let the ‘IF’ in life cast doubts on what God is able to do… even through you!
