Most of us have a quiet story about ourselves as fundamentally decent people, especially compared to whoever we saw on the news last night. But Travis's point cuts through that comparison: the standard was never other people, it's the perfect, holy law of God, and by that standard every one of us is guilty. It's tempting to skip straight from "I'm guilty" to "but God will forgive me" without ever reckoning with what that forgiveness actually cost. The real question isn't whether you're a good person, it's whether you've stopped trusting your own goodness long enough to follow the only one who is. Here's a resource that expands on today's theme. In "One Thing You Lack," David Mathis of Desiring God looks at this same passage, the rich young ruler in Luke 18, and shows that the man's real problem was never really his money, it was that his attachment to his possessions needed to be replaced by an attachment to Christ. It's the same trade Travis pointed to on Sunday: trading confidence in our own goodness for faith in the one who is actually good.
