One Thing God Can’t Do
IllustrationStory★★★★A Sunday school teacher was asking her students some questions after a series of lessons on God’s omnipotence. She asked, “Is there anything God can’t do?” All was silent. Finally, one boy held up his hand. The teacher, on seeing this, was disappointed that they had missed the point of the lesson. She sighed and asked, “Well, what is it you think God can’t do?” The boy replied, “He can’t please everybody.”
The point
A teacher asks if there's anything God can't do; a boy correctly answers that God cannot please everybody, implying that no one should expect universal approval or exhaust themselves attempting the impossible.
