Text: Matthew 19:16-30
A man approaches Jesus and addresses Him as, "good teacher." The word "teacher" in the Greek is "agathos," meaning good in the sense benefit, beneficial. Jesus' response does not mean He's denying that He is good, just challenging the man to see if he knows what he is saying.
The man asks Jesus what good thing he must do. He's in a works mentality. How many times have people said to us, "I've never murdered anyone," etc. The thought of good outside of our own actions is a foreign concept to most.
The man wants to know how to inherit eternal life. He doesn't believe he has it yet. It's easier for our flesh to rely on something we do, instead of something already done.
