The Parable of the good Samaritan
Parables are stories with a twist, and actually we like stories with a twist but culturally for us they are usually jokes.
Tell a joke.
Remember a parable not only has a twist but it is meant to convey a higher truth about the kngdom of God
Main Point - Loving others is not a duty but a response to God's radical love.
Do you show your parents love to get things from them or because you love them…is your relationship with God different?
What is a movie you liek that has a twist?
The occasion for this story
A teacher of the Law wants to “Test” jesus.
Not a genuine inquarry, he is just puffing himself up.
Shows he has the knowledge of the scrupture he should for his status.
Have you ever tried to stump a teacher only to get shut down?
Jesus Goes from mental accent to action
Do this and you shall live
Where are we on the knowing versus doing?
If you like tell your siblings you love them but refuse to help them in thier hour of need how will they feel about that claim to be loved?
The Lawyer knowing he is getting into deep water tries to show how his particular brand should cut the mustard.
Jesus turns is all on its head with a parable.
Main Point - Loving others is not a duty but a response to God's radical love.
What is in the Parable
Road to Jericho
Picture
Preist on his way to Jericho
Modern Day Pastor
Wanting to stay cerimonially clean
Levite
Also leaving Jerusalem
Modern day Deacon
Samarian
Just the worst.
Show compassion and it comes at a cost…open ended cost.
Do you guys know any parables from your past?
The Turtle and the Hair? or something similar?
Main Point - Loving others is not a duty but a response to God's radical love.
Let us look at ourselves for a moment
Have we created categories of people who deserve our help vs. those who don’t
People asking for money outside McDonalds or a staium
They are gonna spend in on … we might say
What is a people group that you think we are suspiscous of?
Do we look at the charitable acts of others with contempt because we dont like them?
The Poor Due of Islam?
Volenteerism in the secular community?
This parable does not seem to care where the compassion comes from, just that it takes place.
Main Point - Loving others is not a duty but a response to God's radical love.
Let us remember the gospel.
Our compassion and our religious category is not what is going to save us.
What we do with Jesus is what save us, and Jesus in us whould make us compassionate.
The most compassionate event of human history is God inviting sinners into his forever home by giving his sone for them.
If we do not see that and feel some motivation to act like the Samamritan we need to ask if we have really been impacted by the death of Jesus.
What would you tell a friend about getting into heaven when they show good actions?
Main Point - Loving others is not a duty but a response to God's radical love.
