Luke 10:29-37
29 But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion. 36 So which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?” 37 And he said, “He who showed mercy on him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”
Our example here is to love our neighbor by action, helping those in need. We do not need to justify inaction by judgement or prejudice, but see the real need and do what we are able in order to show mercy and grace. This is especially true of victims as in this passage. May God help us to go and do likewise, and not avoid by walking hurriedly away from a safe distance on the other side of the road of life.
