"WHY CALLEST THOU ME GOOD?"
How natural it would seem that the rich young man should salute Christ Jesus, who so transcendently expressed true goodness, with the words (Mark 10:17), "Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?" Yet Jesus rebuked him for this, quickly and decisively, saying, "Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God."
Was this because the Master saw that the young man thought of good as a personal possession rather than as a manifestation of the divinity of the Christ? Christ Jesus' recognition of the relation of the human to the divine was a scientific one, a clear seeing of the good expressed in human thought as evidence of the divine. To exalt the materially human, however, would lead to obscuration of the divine.
