Go And Do Likewise

James Granger

Luke

Jesus calls us to love our neighbors as ourselves. Who is that person, or type of person, that you prefer to avoid and find difficult to love? Pastor James Granger points us to Jesus’ parable of the Samaritan as it demonstrates the Christ-like treatment of others that should permeate our lives.

And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?” And 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 answered correctly; do this, and you will live.”

But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.’
