2 | Was Jesus claiming that he was God? | Luke 18:18 | Jesusman | 104017 | ||
Not really. It would seem to me that Jesus is trying to get the Rich young ruler to understand what he just said. Calling Jesus "good master" or "Good Teacher" was a simple, but careless greeting. It was a simple way of greeting a Rabbi or teacher, but it was careless because of how much depth such words carried. Jesus reminds him of this. By reminding the youn man that only God is good, Jesus is basically asking an implied question, "Are you putting me on the same level as God?" One thing to notice about this passage is that it isn't the comment about No one being good but God that disturbs the young man. It's Jesus' comment that he should give everything away that troubles him. Jesusman |
