PARABLES OF JESUS – The Same Road
Luke 10:31-32
" 'Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side.' "
Both the priest and Levite were religious people and involved in church work. The priest led worship, and the Levite was responsible for the physical care of the Synagogue. But neither had a heart to minister. I can imagine their reasons for passing by – "I'm late for church," or, "I don't want to get involved," or, "I don't have EMT training," or "I just bought these new clothes and I don't want to get them dirty," or, "He shouldn't have gotten himself into this predicament." Lots of excuses, but no compassion. They forgot they were all on the same road and it could have happened to them.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: We are all walking life's road together, so we should stop to help fellow-travelers who are in need.
Have a helping day. Love you.
