Luke 10:25-37

Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit . Amen.
“Go and do likewise”

Gospel: Luke 10:25-37
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?” 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 right; do this, and you will live.” But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him, and departed, 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, as he journeyed, came to where he was; and when he saw him, he had compassion, and went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; then he set him on his own beast 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.’ Which of these three, do you think, proved neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?” He said, “The one who showed mercy on him.” And Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”

Meditation
If God is all-loving and compassionate, then why is there so much suffering and evil in this world? For the Jewish believer the law of love was plain and simple: “treat your neighbor as you would treat yourself.” Jesus told a parable to show how wide God’s love and mercy is towards every fellow human being. In the New Testament godly people are saved by faith in God for providing the perfect sacrifice in Jesus Christ. The just live by faith (Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:17), not works of the law. What about you? Will you inherit eternal life?
