Jesus is literally goated — no one else lived a perfect life, died for the whole world, and rose from the dead. David was goated among kings. Moses was goated among prophets (until Jesus). Paul was goated among church planters. But ultimately, only God is truly the GOAT — Isaiah 46:9: 'I am God, and there is no other.'
