Word About Life ~ Luke 10:25-37
Shared by Pastor Ken
Just then, a lawyer stood up to test Jesus. ‘Teacher,’ he
said, ‘what must I do to inherit eternal life?’ He said to him,
‘What is written in the law? What do you read there?’ He
answered, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your
heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength,
and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.’ And
he said to him, ‘You have given the right answer; do this,
and you will live.’
But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, ‘And who is
my neighbor?’ Jesus replied, ‘A man was going down from
Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers,
who stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him
half dead. Now, by chance, a priest was going down that
road; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other
side. So likewise, a Levite, when he came to the place and
saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan,
while traveling came near him; and when he saw him, he
was moved with pity. He went to him and bandaged his
wounds, having poured oil and wine on them. Then he put
him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care
of him. The next day, he took out two denarii, gave them to
the innkeeper, and said, “Take care of him; and when I
come back, I will repay you whatever more you spend.”
Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbor to the
man who fell into the hands of the robbers?’ He said, ‘The
one who showed him mercy.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Go and do
likewise.’
