Worship into the Week-
Luke 10: 25-37
The Good Samaritan Parable
I remember this story from childhood
and especially love thinking
about this story from the perspective
of the injured man and also the helper.
On healthy days we are the one offering the hand.
On some days we are the recipient.
But, we are always in the symbiotic relationship
of neighbor and other.
Sometimes we are the one offering help
and other times we are the receiver.
The important thing to remember
is that we must not fall
into the ladder climb momentum
and see others always below us
and thus we are-
always the helper.
It is important to sit back and learn
about the life spot where others find themselves.
Time to learn from them.
Then be ready to assist,
as needed,
and then come BACK to check.
Thinking especially about how to model this
across the border.
It is our #1priority-
to be good neighbors.
