God's Omnipotence

Omnipotence in Latin means "all power".

There are three attributes Christian theologians have often used to describe God’s ultimate power, knowledge and relevance to everything that ever happens. They start with "omnis'': Omnipotence (He can do anything), Omniscience (He knows everything) and Omnipresence (He is everywhere).

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 he 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."

As Christians, my wife and I find it comforting that our God is all present, all knowing, and able to do everything within His will.
