Todays Devotional /// Luke 10: 30-37: 30 Then Jesus answered and said: “A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side. 33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion. 34 So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 On the next day, when he departed,[c] he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.’ 36 So which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?” 37 And he said, “He who showed mercy on him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.” In the story, Jesus shows us an example of how to care for our neighbors, regardless of perceived differences. Our “prime directive” here in this world is to care for and love one another. How timely, in our world of today, is the message of the Good Samaritan. Ask yourself: Am I a Good Samaritan? Could I be? How can I improve myself today? Jesus told the Lawyer to go and do likewise. Perhaps we should take this to heart! By Rev.
