In Mark 10:17-20, a rich young man asked Jesus,"Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"Jesus answered,"Why do you call me good?.......You know the commandments. Do not murder....."
Reflection:It's strange why Jesus' answer is not Believe in the Lord and you will be saved OR throw this young man the first 4 commandments, but instead Jesus told him not to commit murder etc. Do not be mistaken that by doing good or not doing wrong, one will inherit eternal life. So why did Jesus tell this young man this? Perhaps the answer lies with the word Good teacher and Jesus question of Why do you call me good?
