Speaker: Ajarn Suchat
Luke 10:25-37
 
True love from a Samaritan
 
Jesus came to the world to be a friend to all of us.
The law expert asked Him, "who is our neighbor?"
Jesus answered with the parable of the Good Samaritan
Jesus is using the example of the Samaritan to refer to Jesus.
 
A man was robbed. A priest and a levite saw him and did not help him at all.
However a Samaritan helped him by bandaging the wounds and brought him to an inn and took care of him.
The Foreigner (Samaritan) that the person (us) looked down upon actually stopped to help. This is because the Samaritan pitied the victim.
 
Jesus asked the law expert, who is the neighbor? Who is the real friend
The answer here is the Samaritan
Jesus says, do the same!
The Samaritan puts in great effort and is sensitive to the needs of the injured.
Jesus says 
Mercy is important.
Be sensitive to people who are in need for help
Also be like the law expert, dare to ask, Dare to want to know much, and want to learn
 
2) merciful heart
When they saw the misfortune, they have mercy.
If we do not have the mercy and love ask God for it
 
3) do not hesitate
Help immediately
Non-christians once warned: you should leave one if there is an accident, we do not help.
this is because when the person gains consciousness they may point at the helper as the culprit and implicate the helper.
But as christians, we have got behind us it should not happen to us.
 
4) give help to the maximum you can
The Samaritan offered to pay for all the expenses that occurred, as he told the people at the end when he left that he will be back to pay them. The Samaritan told them to take good care of the injured person. When he helped the injured person the Samaritan went all out to the maximum.
