Luke 10:25-37 Once a man asked Jesus what to do to be saved, and Jesus told him to love God and to love his neighbor as he did himself. The man then asked Jesus who his neighbor was. Jesus told him my parable. A man was on a journey from Jerusalem to Jericho. Robbers came after him and took all that he had, even his clothing. They left him in the road. The first man to come by was a lawyer who just looked at me and passed on by. The second man was a Levite and he too just looked at me and passed on by was well. These two men should have stopped and helped the man who had been robbed and beaten. I am a Samaritan, and although my people are not very well thought of, I could not leave the man to die. I bandaged his wounds after I cleaned them. I put him on my animal and took him to an inn (hotel) where they could take care of him. I left money for his care, and I told the inn keeper that if he spent more than I left, I would pay him when I came back. Jesus then asked me who I thought was the best neighbor. I answered and said, "I the Samaritan, was the best neighbor". Jesus then told the beaten man to go and show mercy on people as I did. This is the thing we must do to live forever with Jesus. This story came from the book of Luke. (Prepare a few questions to ask the boys and girls about your character.) You may read this story in the book of Luke chapter 10 verses 25-37 |
