When the rich young ruler calls Jesus “good,” he is confronted with the truth that only God is truly good and he is helpless to manage his own salvation. Fortunately for us, God’s goodness means we are not without hope and Christ’s doing what the ruler could not, giving up everything, points us to our only source of true righteousness and real salvation.

Luke 18:18-30
