Good Morning, Super Christian!

Mark 10:18 - So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.

Romans 3:12 - They have all turned aside;
They have together become unprofitable;
There is none who does good, no, not one.

The urge to read something about a super anything will often cause us to turn quickly to see if we might fit the description. You may have noticed the temptation within yourself to see if I might be talking directly to you this morning. I am, but not in the way of calling anyone out as a super Christian. The three gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke all have this response of our Lord Jesus to being called 'good'. Jesus also told us that John the Baptist was the greatest down here, but everyone in the kingdom of Heaven was greater than John. To bookend our Lord's words, we have Paul in his epistle to the Romans quoting King David from the Psalms, and putting us in our not super place. Goodness would certainly be a super quality of a Christian man or woman, but we do not bring it to the table ourselves. Good thing our Lord's Spirit is growing a bunch of super fruits in us. One day we will see such a harvest!

Have faith in God this day,
