Impossible Becomes Possible | Luke 18-19

In this powerful gospel message titled “The Impossible Becomes Possible: The Saviour Who Seeks and Saves the Lost,” TE Vijay Tagore expounds the account of Zacchaeus alongside the surrounding passages in Luke’s Gospel, revealing the glorious truth that salvation is entirely by the sovereign grace of God.

Through the story of the rich tax collector Zacchaeus, this sermon highlights humanity’s lost condition, the emptiness of worldly success apart from God, and the beautiful reality that Christ Himself seeks sinners. While the world’s religions teach man to strive upward toward God, the Christian faith proclaims the God who comes down to seek and save the undeserving.

This message unfolds the wonder of divine grace: that the Lord Jesus Christ calls sinners by name, pursues the spiritually restless, and transforms hearts that once loved sin into hearts that joyfully receive Him. Zacchaeus, once known for corruption and greed, becomes a testimony to the saving power of Christ — proving that what is impossible with man is indeed possible with God.

The sermon also warns against the pride of self-righteousness seen in the Pharisees, reminding us that salvation is never earned by religious performance, moral superiority, or human effort, but is received solely through the mercy of God in Christ Jesus.

May this sermon encourage believers to rest fully in Christ’s grace and remind sinners that no one is beyond the reach of the Saviour who still seeks and saves the lost.
