Luke 10:15-37
Then, a certain Lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what should I do to inherit eternal life?
And Jesus said to him, what is written in the Law?
How do you intrepid it?
And he answered and said, you are to love your Lord God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your thought, and your neighbor as yourself.
Then Jesus said to him, you have answered right: do this, and you will live.
But he willing to justify himself, said to Jesus, Who is then my neighbor?
And Jesus answered, and said: A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, and they robbed him of his clothing, and wounded him, and then left him half dead.
And it came about that a certain Priest was walking down the same way, and when he saw him there he passed by on the other side.
And a Levite walking down the same way, when he came near enough to see him, also passed by on the other side,
Then a certain Samaritan, as he traveling, came near to him, and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, And went to him, and bound up his wounds and poured in oil and wine, and put him on his own beast, and brought him to an Inn, and made provision for him.
And on the next day when he departed, he took out two pieces of moneys, and gave them to the host, and said to him, Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, when I come back, I will repay you.
Now which of these three, do you, think was neighbor to him that fell among the thieves?
And he said the one that showed mercy to him.
Then Jesus said to him, Go, and do the same.
Now go and do the same!
Do you go out of your way to avoid or to help a one in need????
Do you hold on to what you have rather than to give to help others???
Will you receive your reward in worldly trinkets or in heavenly wonders???
Open your eyes and look around you have a lot of neighbor out there.
Where do you store your rewards on earth or in heaven?
