“Only God is good.” The Lord Jesus.
Jesus often answered questions with questions.
Once a man had a question for Jesus and called Him “Good
Teacher.”
Jesus responded, “Why do you call me good?”
“Only God is good.”
These four words contain the key to invincibility in faith.
- Only. Exclusively.
- God. The Supreme Ultimate Being.
- Is. Right now. And forever.
- Good. Right. Pleasing. Satisfying.
God’s goodness,
God as the only good,
is our only hope,
and
our only true source of unwavering faith.
Haven’t you experienced this?
Have you ever had your hopes set on something, like money
for example, that didn’t deliver what you hoped?
How about a job?
What about that man or woman that you thought would surely
make you genuinely happy?
Even when he did.
Even though she did.
Even though the job and money were exactly what you hoped,
or maybe even better, there was something still missing.
Someone.
God.
When things are at their worst, why do we feel the worst isn’t
it?
Yes, we may think life is full of disappointment, and that
disappointment seems normal.
But part of us knows it’s not supposed to like that?
Why?
Only
God
Is
Good.
We know this.
So we keep going.
