People saw Jesus, heard about Him, or
read about Him, and they had their own
idea who He was. The rich man in the
reference scriptures was sure that
Jesus was a Good Teacher.
Jesus told the man that only God is
good.
Some people think Jesus was telling
the man that He (Jesus) was not God.
That is not what Jesus was saying.
The man's point of view of Jesus
was that He was only a Good Teacher,
or a good man. The truth that Jesus
was God in human form and more than
a Good Teacher escaped the man.
If Jesus meant that no one was good,
from every point of view, He would be
found to contradict the scriptures.
Search the scriptures an you will
find it talks about good people. One
example starts like this:A good man,
out of the good treasures... Jesus
had a point of view that did not
contradicted the scriptures. That
point of view was that all people
are not good, relative to God. Jesus
Himself being God in human form and
sinless, was actually saying that
He alone is good.
Jesus stands apart from all people.
He is exalted above all people. Jesus
is not comparable to anyone, no
matter how good they are, because their
goodness is only good relative to
others.
How do you see Jesus?
