START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) Luke 10:30
And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
THE PARABLE OF THE GOOD SAMARITAN / LUKE 10:30
This parable emphasizes that true faith and obedience – the kind that leads to spiritual salvation and a genuine relationship with Christ – include an active compassion for those in need. Notice that Jesus never really answered the question, “Who is my neighbor?” Instead, He basically told the lawyer to reach out and be a neighbor (“Go and do likewise,” Luke 10:37) – to be proactive in helping and serving others. The call to love God is a call to love others.
- The new heart and life that Christ gives to those who accept Him will produce love, mercy and compassion for those who are hurting, troubled and distressed. All Christ’s followers are responsible to act on the Holy Spirit’s love within them and not to neglect opportunities to demonstrate Christ’s compassion.
- Those who profess to be Christians yet are unmoved by the needs and suffering of others, prove that they are not really following Christ (Luke 10:25-28, 31-37; Matthew 25:41-46; 1 John 3:16-20). The greater lesson in this example seems to be that true compassion did not dwell in the heart of the religious leader (the priest), or the ministry associate (the Levite, who was from a family of worship leaders), but a despised enemy (Luke 9:53; 2 Kings 17:24). Jesus was speaking of a compassion that knew no national boundaries.
