The Parable of the Good Samaritan Luke 10:25-37 --- Who is your neighbor?

When we do not truly believe,  we will try to find loopholes and faults to justify ourselves.
The lawyer was an expert in such ---- finding contractual loopholes and adding clauses to protect his client. Jesus was able to point out the 'loophole' and cover it up so that no one can find excuses.


Lessons:

  • #1 We are to love God and Man. Loving man is a way to love God.
  • #2 our neighbor is someone with needs that we come across
  • #3 helping others also means inconvenience and costly to ourselves. Do we want to pay the price?
  • #4 In today's time, it could be a scam to cheat us. How can we be wise?
  • From ChatGPT: The true measure of righteousness is not merely knowing what one ought to do but actively living it out in compassion and mercy towards others.
