Mark 10:18
Only God is Good
18 Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good--except God alone."
John 14:6-7
Jesus Says He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
John 14:27
Jesus Gives Us a Peace that is not of this World
27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
John 16:25-33
Jesus Has Overcome This World
25 “Though I have been speaking figuratively, a time is coming when I will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father. 26 In that day you will ask in my name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf. 27 No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God. 28 I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.”
29 Then Jesus’ disciples said, “Now you are speaking clearly and without figures of speech. 30 Now we can see that you know all things and that you do not even need to have anyone ask you questions. This makes us believe that you came from God.”
31 “Do you now believe?” Jesus replied. 32 “A time is coming and in fact has come when you will be scattered, each to your own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me.
33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
When someone called Jesus good, He replied that no one is good except God alone...And those who believe in Jesus know that He is good...And He did not deny that He was good, especially if one believes that He is God and God in the flesh...And this also makes sense, when He also said that if one believes that if you really know Him, then you also know the Father as well...
Jesus said that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life, and no one gets to God, except through Him...As I read these verse, I believe, Jesus too, is good...Believing this to me makes Jesus is good as well as God...This makes one believe that Jesus is the Son of God and God in the flesh...When Jesus says He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, you have to ask how is He related to God, and/or what is His relationship to God...Especially when Jesus says and His followers believe our lives are to be lived in a way to follow His Way, His Truth, and His Life...
Jesus often called Himself the Son of God...But when He says that Only God is Good, and we know that He is Good, one might ask if Jesus is God...We know that He is One with God and has been with God from the beginning...
When He told His disciples that He was the Way, the Truth, and the Life and that no one can come to God except through Him is a puzzling, deep, and quite a mysterious statement...But yet, in our troubled world He meets all those troubles head on, and somehow can satisfy each the needs of humanity with His teachings...In this world we will have troubles, but Jesus overcame this world...By believing that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life gives us a peace, it is a special peace that only He can give and not as this world can offer...Believing He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life helps us satisfy this mystery of life and explains the puzzle and the questions that surrounds life...He gives life meaning and purpose...
