Ignoring others

The story of the Good Samaritan is well known in our communities, even outside official church circles. The basic message in the parable is that the religious people, who should have stopped to help the man, didn't stop, but it was the Samaritan who couldn't ignore the mans plight. Even when the Samaritan was expected to walk past, his compassion made him stop and help.

"Instead of ignoring others or stepping over or on them, with the Lord's help, we may be able to open our hearts to all in charity, compassion, and commitment." - Karen Greenwaldt

This is the challenge we live with as Christians. Showing our compassion and charity for others is an indication of our commitment to Jesus.

Luke 10:33-34 - "But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him."
