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!
