Who is Your Neighbor?
|
||||||||
Yahshua said, “Once upon a time a Hebrew man was travelling to Jericho from Jerusalem. He was attacked by a gang of robbers. They took everything he had and beat him severely, leaving him to die. Soon a priest from the temple came down the same road and saw the poor man lying in a pool of blood. The priest kept on going without even stopping to help the man! Then a Samaritan came down the road on his donkey. Unlike the priest, he rushed to help the man, even washing his wounds and putting him upon the donkey. He took the man to an inn and took care of him. The next day he gave the inn keeper money to keep on taking care of the man. ‘When I return,’ said the Samaritan, ‘I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’”

What can you learn from this story? We should try to treat others kindly, even if they are people who are treated differently by our society. If we have enemies, we should pray for them and not try to get revenge on them. Yahshua wants us to be like Him. He was nice to people who were looked down upon in His society. For instance, He healed lepers. Everyone else ran away from such people. While we are not able to perform miracles today like Yahshua did, we can still pray for those who are sick or lame. We can still write letters or send cards to those who are hurting. Let us all be like the good Samaritan! |
