Greetings All

Greetings in the Compassionate Name of Jesus Christ!
Do you remember the story of the good samaritan? Let me refresh your memory. A man had been traveling the road from Jeruselem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of theives. They beat him, stripped him of possessions and clothing, then left him for dead on the side of the road. A priest came by, and passed the man by going to the other side of the road. This priest may have been on the way to the temple, and to have touched the beaten man would have made the priest unclean. Likewise, a Levite passed him by.
Then a Samaritan came upon him. The Samaritan had comapssion on the wounded man, put oil on his wounds, bandaged him, and took him to an inn, promising the keeper to pay for the man's expences. As a result, we now have many "Good Samaritan" references. The question is, how often do we seize given oppotunities to be good samaritans? They occur, but perhaps we don't 'see' them, just like the priest and the Levite didn't 'see' the wounded man. Believers, this is commanded by God; "Love one another even as I have loved you."
Luke 10:27, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself."
Now is the Time for Worship!
May God Richly Bless You, My Beloved.
