Jesus: “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God.”

The Jews measured their righteousness by the 10 Commandments, seeing them only as external requirements - and they were convinced they were good. The 10 C’s were their “bar”. They did not realize “God looks at the heart...”, not the external.

So Jesus raised the bar - by several miles - in the Sermon on the Mount, paraphrased, “You think the bar is here (the 10 C’s); but I say to you.....if any man look at a woman with lust, he is guilty of adultery.....”, and so on.

Trump neither knows himself - nor God. BTW, they go together......

He sets himself as the standard of goodness. This is self-deception.

Not unlike Obama.
