Text: Luke 10: 29-37
INHERITING ETERNAL LIFE II
1. The lawyer, not to be outdone, raised a question.
“And who is my neighbour?”
Luke 10:29
a. This was a thorny question for the Jews.
b. Their definition of the word “neighbour” was a very restrictive one.
2. The Lord Jesus gave the Parable of the Good Samaritan in response.
a. A traveller was waylaid in his journey from Jerusalem to Jericho.
i. He was robbed.
ii. He was also wounded and left to die (Luke 10:30).
b. Two travellers, passing by, noted the plight of the wounded man.
i. A priest (Luke 10:31)
ii. A Levite (Luke 10:32)
Both gave no assistance!
c. A Samaritan came along.
i. He felt compassion (Luke 10:33).
ii. He tended to the wounded man (Luke 10:34a).
iii. He lifted him on his donkey and brought him to an inn to be cared for (Luke 10:34b).
iv. He paid the innkeeper and promised to reimburse him if there were additional bills (Luke 10:35).
3. The question posed by the Lord Jesus to the lawyer.
“So which of these three do you think was neighbour to him who fell among the thieves?”
Luke 10:36
a. Who was the neighbour?
b. The lawyer had to come up with the right answer.
4. The lawyer’s reply.
“And he said, ‘He who showed mercy on him.’”
Luke 10:37a
a. That was the logical answer.
b. It was the correct answer.
5. The Lord’s word of exhortation.
“Then Jesus said to him, ‘Go and do likewise.’”
Luke 10:37b
a. One may have expert knowledge of the law of God.
b. The question is whether this knowledge is practised in life.
i. The priest was supposed to be a servant of God.
ii. The Levite served in the Temple.
iii. Both had deep knowledge of the law of God.
iv. But there was no love for a neighbour in dire need!
c. The challenge is to truly practise:
i. A deep love for God.
ii. Evidenced in ministering to those who are in need!
