1 | Why identify the cities and not the man? | Luke 10:30 | EdB | 142117 | ||
Mommapbs Perhaps it was done to set a picture and many miss it. Jews avoided Samaritan territory and if they passed through they did is quickly, silently and quietly. By identifying the area of travel is clearly shows the Samaritan was out his element and deep within Jewish territory. Also no Jew would ever consider stopping to help a Samaritan or someone of unknown origin found in Samaria. However this Samaritan, far from home and in a hostile land himself, stopped to help someone who would probably be a Jew. In other words he not only helped he risked his own well being in doing so. John 15:13 (NASB) 13 "Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. Wasn’t this a perfect picture of Jesus? A Man in a hostile land willing to lay down His life for someone that would never consider reciprocating? Pouring Himself out for another. EdB |

Greetings EdB - you asked: "Wasn’t this a perfect picture of Jesus? A Man in a hostile land willing to lay down His life for someone that would never consider reciprocating? Pouring Himself out for another." Yes - see note 142094. I suspect there is much for us to consider about this journey from Jersulaem to Jericho . . . where the "walls came a tumblin' down"!
