The Good Samaritan
In Jesus's Day, Jewish People disliked Samaritans. Samaritan's were considered unclean, and because of this Jewish people would walk long distances to avoid running into Samaritans. Is it right to dislike different group of people? Jewish people felt that they were very righteous. Righteous mean that they were very devoted to God and his Laws. They felt like the Samaritans were not worth loving.


 * Read Luke 10:25-37 The Good Samaritan**

Why did the priest and the Levite pass by the wounded man? Why did the Samaritan stop? Which of these people showed the love for his neighbor that Jesus was talking about? Is showing love alway convenient? We need to show love, the fruit of the spirit, when we get the chance, sometimes sacrificing our own wants. When we do this we honor Christ, and show others that we have God's Spirit inside of us.
