Text: Luke 9: 51-53

GREAT ANIMOSITY

1. In the days of the Lord Jesus

a. There was great animosity between the Jews and the Samaritans.

b. Unfortunately, they despised each other.

c. They were ethnically related but they did not have much of a relationship with each other.

2. The Journey to Jerusalem

a. Galilee was up North.

b. Jerusalem was down South.

c. Samaria lay in between.

d. Passing through Samaria would be a shorter journey to Jerusalem from Galilee.

3. The Lord’s plan was to go to Jerusalem (Luke 9:51).

a. This was not unusual.

b. He had been doing this all the time.

4. An advanced Team of Disciples (Luke 9:52).

a. They were sent ahead.

b. They would be telling people that the Lord would be coming soon.

c. The meeting places would be chosen and confirmed.

d. This was done by way of preparation.

5. Resistance from a Samaritan village.

a. One village refused to receive Him (Luke 9:53a).

b. They saw that the Lord was going to Jerusalem (Luke 9:53b).

c. The Samaritans were within their rights.

i. To allow people to go through their village to Jerusalem.

ii. To disallow people to take a shorter route through Samaria.

d. This would mean that the Lord and His disciples would have to go around the village.

e. This would mean that they would have to walk a few extra days before they could reach Jerusalem.

What should they do?
