In this world that we are living in, we often heard people talking about "me, myself and I." Sadly, people are often caught up in this individualistic society that they pay little or no attention to the needy.
In the Parable of the Good Samaritan, Luke 10:25-37, the Bible teaches us to love our neighbour as ourselves. To help and serve others who are in need. We can see this in other similar verses,
“Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others.” - 1 Corinthians 10:24.
“Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms.” - 1 Peter 4:10.
If you are still not convince,
“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” - Mark 10:45.
We must not be like the priest or Levite who do nothing to help the victim. They were the ones who understood the law well, yet being righteous on the outward appearance, they acted otherwise.
Are you acting like the priest or Levite? Do some soul searching and we will know the answer ourselves. Confess and ask God for forgiveness. Let us walk our talk and obey Jesus.
Just as He has said, “Go and do likewise.”
