The Good Samaritan [September 15, 2019] Greg Burlile
Luke 10:25-37 ESV
What We Observe in The Parable of the Good Samaritan
1: The brokenness of this sinful world
2: The emptiness of religion without love
3: Racism and prejudice
4: Being a Christ-like neighbor requires sacrifice and risk
These observations are true, but let’s not miss what is really happening here:
Jesus is primarily trying to show this person that there is no way he can keep the law perfectly! (and neither can we!! We need Jesus!)
Jesus does everything the Samaritan did and MORE!
1: Jesus sees our brokenness in sin and comes to us with compassion
2: Jesus demonstrated God’s love for us
3: Jesus makes a way for racism to end
4: Jesus paid the price for our salvation with His own blood
5: Jesus is coming again to receive us into eternal life
Take Action:
1: Recognize your inability to meet the requirements of God’s moral law and that you are in need of grace and mercy that is only available through faith in Jesus and what He did.
2: Show yourself to be a true neighbor and “go and do” like the Samaritan did!
