Summary: You can still show love to all your fellow man.
YOU MAY BE ON THE WRONG ROAD
BUT YOU STILL CAN SHOW LOVE TO YOUR FELLOW MAN.
Passage Luke 10
29But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
30And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
33But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
34And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
1. Just about all the educated people question Jesus.
Lawyer ask who is your neighbor
Trying to be smart
Trying to test Jesus
Test of how Christ would answer
2. Christ answered with story
A traveler
A crook
A back road
Man left to die
3. No help in site
Here comes a priest --- sure help
Moved to the other side of the road
He kept moving none stop
Did not want to get involved
4. Here comes a Levite
Stop to take a look
Moved over the other side and went on
He saw a need but did not feel it
Dirty hands not me
5. Real help is here
Samaritan man of help love of neighbor
He stops and looks the hurt man over
He had compassion
He patch him up
He used his oil and bandages
6. He went all the way to show true love
He helps him to his own beast
Took him to and inn
Paid for a room
Fed him got him a place of safety
7. Now what he had to leave
He told the inn keeper take care of him
Don’t worry about the money
When I come again I will pay what this does not cover
He saw he was taken care off
He departed with a filled heart
A warm soul
Knowing he shown true love of God
