Who can be saved?
That is the ultimate question, the one's we ask ourselves at 3 in the morning, the ones our souls cry out when we let the noise from the world diminish and give ourselves time to think. This is the ultimate question, the only one that truly matters -- who will be saved?
Jesus tells us that it is impossible for us to do on our own, but with God, all things are possible. Which leads us to the next question, of who does God choose to save?
For this answer, we look to Jesus and wonder what kind of Savior he is, and what we find is someone more gracious than we can imagine. What we find is someone willing to offer salvation to those who are crucifying him. We find someone willing to go to the lost and the lonely, to those on the outskirts of society and well outside traditional power structures. We find a God willing to offer salvation to people not on their merit, but on his unconditional love.
Who can be saved?
Thanks be to God that is dependent on God, not on us.
