I was reading the good Samaritan parable the other day and I
took away a couple different things. It made me realize that all the people who
saw the man lying on the road felt that they were too good to be the
one to take care of the man. They felt that he was not worthy of their
effort because they may have been powerful or busy.
Jesus teaches us to humble and to judge others not by their
power or wealth, but by their character. The good Samaritan, which we should
all strive to become, took compassion on the man. He gave up his time and money
for a complete stranger.
I challenge you to be a Samaritan in your daily lives by
taking care of the problem that you know is present and looming over you or
others in your lives. If you see a piece of trash, pick it up. If you know
someone in stress, help them out. Help make the world a better place for other
people as a follower of Christ.
