Undetected Possibilities
By Dr. Robert Schuller
To Jesus every problem was a possibility in disguise.
Sickness was an opportunity for healing. Sin was an opportunity for forgiveness. Sorrow was an opportunity for compassion. Personal abuse was an opportunity to leave a good impression and show the world how Possibility Thinkers react!
To Jesus every person was a gold mine of undiscovered, hidden possibilities! . . .
To Jesus the important fact about you and me is not that we are sinners, but that we can be saints. So Jesus proclaimed the greatest possibility: the immeasurable mercy of God.
To Jesus the whole world was jammed, pregnant, loaded, bulging with untapped, undiscovered, undetected possibilities! Jesus really believed in the supreme spiritual possibilities!
Man can be born again! Character can be changed! You can become a new person! Life can be beautiful! There is a solution to every problem! There is a light behind every shadow!
Yes! Jesus had an unshakable faith in these ultimate spiritual possibilities:
God exists!
Life goes on beyond death!
Heaven is for real!
Jesus was prepared to prove it. By dying-and rising again!
Jesus was impressed by what the world could become-never depressed by what the world was.
He truly believed that common people can become uncommonly powerful. He knew without a shadow of a doubt that ordinary persons could become Possibility Thinkers.
