Who Is Your Neighbor?
Rather, Who Is Your Father!?!
Questions for this passage:
How can one inherit (whether Jew, Priest or Levite) eternal life?
Jesus says nothing about inheritance of the physical kind, only of a spiritual kind.
Jesus asked about the expert’s interpretation of the Law.
(The Spirit of the Law)
Living out the Law of Love and Life gives an eternal, spiritual inheritance.
The expert asked how he could get away with NOT helping everyone.
Whose approval is he seeking?
God knows the intentions of his heart already.
How can someone be commanded to love?
There is NO life without love, there is only continual death.
There is no coercion, either do it or do not, but we cannot demand God’s blessings.
By obeying all that we are taught by Jesus.
By knowing God, what he has done for others and for us; defined as love.
If for nothing else, love that you might live.
How does I love as Christ?
By showing mercy, doing good to all around us asking for nothing in return (as God does), and loving God through knowing and obeying God.
A Few Things to NOTE:
Jesus never said that the man who was attacked was a Jew, neither did he identify who were the robbers.
Race or religion were not an excuse.
There is a difference between idle talk (caution given the 72) and caring for others physically and spiritually along the way.
The expert of the Law did not identify the Samaritan directly, as if he still could not admit to his bias, even after the parable.
You can know the truth, but if you do not act on the truth, then you can hardly claim to be obedient to it.
