Everyone wants a good life, right? Sure, why not? But what is good? A better questions might be, "What is good enough?" We all want good health, a good family, a good job, etc. When Jesus was addressed as "good teacher" however, He said that no one was good but God!
Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?”
So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. (Mark 10:17-18)
So in actuality, if we really want the good life, we must become more like Jesus. We must want the things He wants and do the things He did. We must get to know Him better in order to be better! We must love one another, care for one another, serve one another and sacrifice for one another.
To have the good life, our life must not be about you or me, but others!
