Luke 10:25 – 37
- In
response to the question posed by a lawyer, “teacher, what must I do to
inherit eternal life?” - Jesus said a man was traveling from Jerusalem
to Jericho and was attacked by robbers, - They stripped him, beat him and
left him and left half-dead, - A priest passed by, saw the wounded man but
did not help him. - A Levite was also passing by, saw the wounded man and left him.
- A certain
Samaritan who was on his journey saw the wounded man and had compassion on him. - He went to him and bound his wounds,
- He put oil and wine into his
wounds and placed him on his horse and carried him to an inn. - Immediately,
he made advance payment, - He promised to pay any additional bill when he
returned, - The man took proper care of the wounded man.
- After the
story, Jesus asked the lawyer which of the three men was his neighbour? - The lawyer responded that it was the man who showed mercy,
- Jesus asked
him to do likewise.
Three ways by which Christians show good neighbourliness:
- By regarding everyone a fellow human being,
- By helping
those in need, - By not discrimination against others./We should see
ourselves as one. - By showing love to one another,
- By showing good
neighbourliness. /Bringing wrongdoing to peoples’ attention, - Forgiving
those who offend you. - Sharing what you have with others,
- Consoling
others. / Praying for others.
