And Jesus said to him, Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.
Luke 18:19
The victory cry of Israel was, “For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.” Psalm 100:5 They sang this refrain over and over, as a praise to their God who had given them them their victory. No other words are recorded, if there were any, this was their triumph!
No one is good but God. Even Jesus, God Himself, didn’t try to stand in His own goodness as a man. Everything He did, He obeyed His Father, as an example. He said that whoever does truth comes into the light so that it might be plainly be seen that what has been done has been done through God (John 3:21).
