THE GOOD SAMARITAN 1

Lu 10:30-37 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. (31) And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. (32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. (33) But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, (34) And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. (35) And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. (36) Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? (37) And he said, He that showed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

INTRODUCTION:
A Sunday school teacher was teaching a class of second graders about the Good Samaritan. She asked the class what they would do if they saw a man lying beside the road bruised and bleeding from being robbed and beaten.
One of the girls raised her hand and honestly answered "I'd probably throw up."

We might find that story humorous but there are many of us who say we are getting sick of the damage that Satan is doing in the lives of people but that is really all we do...We get sick of it but do nothing.
In the next few devotionals I want to discuss the story of the Good Samaritan. I hope you receive a blessing from these devotionals.
