Eld. Saviour Mwiinga - Matthew 19:16-17

in the Gospel of Matthew, we encounter a moment when a person approaches Jesus and addresses Him as “Good teacher.” The passage goes as follows: Matthew 19:16-17 (WEB; NIV) Behold, one came to him and said, “Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?” Jesus replied, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.” This interaction highlights the significance of goodness, the pursuit of eternal life, and the importance of following divine commandments. Jesus challenges the notion of human goodness and directs attention to the ultimate source of goodness—God Himself12. 🙏 Learn more 1 biblegateway.com 2 bing.com 3 bible.com 4 biblehub.com 5 biblegateway.com Let’s chat What are the commandments?
