Rachel Workman: 18 Once a religious leader asked Jesus this question: “Good Teacher,
what should I do to inherit eternal life?”
19 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked him. “Only
God is truly good. 20 But to answer your question, you know the
commandments: ‘You must not commit adultery. You must not murder. You must not
steal. You must not testify falsely. Honor your father and mother."
Jesus didn't ask this question because
he didn't consider himself good. He asked because he wanted to know if the
religious leaders actually knew who he was. Good Teacher. Can you call Christ
good without acknowledging who he is? Not one of are truly good.

Bell: 18 Once a religious leader asked
Jesus this question: “Good Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?”
19 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked
him. “Only God is truly good. 20 But to answer your question,
you know the commandments: ‘You must not commit adultery. You must not murder.
You must not steal. You must not testify falsely. Honor your father and
mother.”
Jesus was on this earth as
a man. Only God is truly good. I will work on myself.

Tomorrow’s reading for Luke 18:21-23
21 The man replied, “I’ve obeyed all these
commandments since I was young.”
22 When Jesus heard his answer, he said, “There is
still one thing you haven’t done. Sell all your possessions and give the money
to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
23 But when the man
heard this he became very sad, for he was very rich.
