Subject: Parable fo the Good Samaritan - Evaluate |
Bible Note: Joe It was a fine interpretation. Just one question: In your post, you listed the following paragraph: Conclusion: If we consistently treat every human being who crosses our path with the same self-sacrifice and compassion that the Samaritan demonstrated for the victim here, abandoning all thoughts of our own safety, going miles out of our way to render aid, thinking of our own finances as completely inconsequential in the interests of a stranger who has never even spoken to us (and under most circumstances, would have never spoken to us in the first place), and making sure that his/her future needs are taken care of by you personally, then you are fulfilling God's law. Raise your hand if that is your attitude toward every human being who comes across your path... Completely disregarding a mans religious affiliation - if one man, other than Jesus, could truthfully raise his hand (and, I assure you, it wouldn't be me raising my hand): How do you feel God/Jesus would respond to that man? Thank you for an excellent discussion. Brian |
