Such was Jesus's response to one person who called Him 'good'. His response seems to say, 'Do not use the word 'good', since God alone is good. Know that if you call me good, you call me God!'
It seems relevant to the much expected hysteria surrounding Nelson Mandela's death.
May he rest in peace, but comparisons to Jesus Christ tell us more about what the World thinks of Jesus Christ than it does about what the World thinks of Nelson Mandela.
Mr Mandela was many things to many people, but the Second Person of the Trinity he was not.
