William Burkitt on Matthew 19:26

As if Christ had said, "Were all men left to themselves, no man, either rich or poor would be saved; but God can bring men to heaven by the mighty power of his grace: he can make the rich in estate, poor in spirit; and them that are poor in this world, rich in grace."

Learn, 1. That it is impossible for any man, rich or poor, by his own natural strength, to get to heaven.

2. That when we are discouraged with a sense of our own impotency, we should consider the power of God, and act our faith upon it: With God all things are possible.
