Mark 10:18, NASB: "And Jesus said to him, 'Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone."

Pure, moral, conscientious; meritorious, worthy, exemplary, upright. These are all synonyms for the word good. In most contexts, the concept of good denotes the conduct that should be preferred when posed with a choice between possible actions. Good is generally considered to be the opposite of evil, and is of high interest in the study of morality, ethics, philosophy, but especially religion. All things considered, Jesus asked the question, "Why do you call Me good?" Was He denying His deity as some would argue? Was He saying that, even He, is evil? In today's podcast we will reason from the text so to have an accurate understanding of what Jesus meant when asking, "Why do you call Me good?"
