Have you ever boldly announced that you can handle some challenge and then had to admit that it is completely beyond your ability? John and his brother James experience this, as they boast to Jesus of being able to do what is clearly well beyond their reach. In the end perhaps it humbles them to better appreciate what Jesus’ eternal salvation really means for us. Thanks be to God, He has done for us what we could never do for ourselves. Jesus is our Eternal Salvation.
