Listen to last week’s sermon: “Do you Care Do You Care?” Reflecting on the Parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:25-37.

We are reminded of the importance of caring for others as demonstrated in the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37). This parable highlights the danger of spiritual erosion and the need for genuine compassion in our Christian walk.

Key Points:

1. Spiritual Erosion.

Just as a slow decline in spiritual vitality can lead to the demise of a church, neglecting our call to love and care for others can erode our faith. We must guard against complacency and maintain fervor in our relationship with God.

2. The Lawyer’s Question.

The expert in the law’s question to Jesus prompts reflection on the essence of eternal life. Jesus redirects the focus to loving God and loving our neighbors, emphasizing the practical outworking of faith.

3. The Good Samaritan.

The parable illustrates the importance of compassion and action. While the religious leaders passed by, the Samaritan stopped to help the wounded man, demonstrating sacrificial love and care.

4. Practical Application.

We are called to emulate the Good Samaritan by actively seeking opportunities to show compassion in our daily lives. Acts of kindness, no matter how small, reflect Christ’s love and can make a significant difference.

As we engage in prayer and fasting, let us not overlook the call to care for those in need. Just as Jesus ministered to the sick and downtrodden, may we also extend love and compassion to others. By walking in the footsteps of Christ, we can bring hope and healing to a hurting world.
