Luke 10:25-37

25 On one occasion an expert in

the law stood up to test Jesus.

"Teacher," he asked, "what must Ido to inherit eternal life?"

26 "What is written in the Law?" he

replied. "How do you read it?


6/47

Luke 10:25-37

27 He answered: "'Love the Lord

your God with all your heart and

with all your soul and with all yourstrength and with all your mind';

and, 'Love your neighbor as

yourself.'


7/47

Luke 10:25-37

28 "You have answered correctly,"

Jesus replied. "Do this and you

will live."

29 But he wanted to justify himself,

so he asked Jesus, "And who ismy neighbor?


8/47

Luke 10:25-37

30 In reply Jesus said: "A man was

going down from Jerusalem to

Jericho, when he fell into thehands of robbers. They stripped

him of his clothes, beat him and

went away, leaving him half dead.


9/47

Luke 10:25-37

31 A priest happened to be going

down the same road, and when

he saw the man, he passed by onthe other side.


10/47

Luke 10:25-37

32 So too, a Levite, when he came

to the place and saw him, passed

by on the other side. 33 But aSamaritan, as he traveled, came

where the man was; and when he

saw him, he took pity on him.


11/47

Luke 10:25-37

34 He went to him and bandaged

his wounds, pouring on oil and

wine. Then he put the man on hisown donkey, took him to an inn

and took care of him. 35 The next

day he took out two silver coinsand gave them to the innkeeper.

'Look after him,' he said, 'and

when I return


12/47

LENOIR, N.C.

-- The Caldwell County Sheriff's Office and

state agents are investigating after five

people were shot, one fatally,

Wednesday night.

The shooting began around 11 p.m. at two

homes on Grandin Road near Blue CreekRoad in an area called Kings Creek,

north of Lenoir.

Officials say it started as an argument when

one mans dog killed his neighbors cat.The neighbor then shot the dog, prompting

the dogs owner to shoot his

50-year-old neighbor and the neighbors

8-year-old daughter.


16/47

What in the World Does a

Christian Do?The Luke Chapter 10 context.

The three scenes in Luke 10illustrate the threefold ministry of

every Christian believer, and they

answer the question, What in theworld does a Christian do?


17/47

To begin with, we are the

LordsAMBASSADORS, sent to

represent Him in this world(Luke 10:1-24).


18/47

We are also NEIGHBORS, looking

for opportunities to show mercy in

the name of Christ(Luke 10:25-37).


19/47

But at the heart of all our ministry

is devotion to Christ, so we must

be WORSHIPPERS who taketime to listen to His Word and

commune with Him

(Luke 10:38-42).


20/47

Whether we are in the

harvest field, on thehighway, or in the home,

our highest privilege and

our greatest joy is to do thewill of God.


21/47

AS NEIGHBORS:

Imitating the Lord(Luke 10:25-37)

It was expected that rabbis would

discuss theological matters in

public, and the question thisscribe (lawyer) asked was one

that was often debated

by the Jews.


22/47

It was a good question asked with a

bad motive, because the lawyer

hoped to trap our Lord. However,Jesus trapped the lawyer!

Our Lord sent the man back to theLaw, not because the Law saves us

(Galatians 2:16, 21; 3:21), but

because the Law shows us that we

need to be saved. There can be noreal conversion without conviction,

and the Law is what God uses to

convict sinners (Rom. 3:20).


23/47

The scribe gave the right answer

[in fact the EXACT answer Jesus

gave at one time], but he would notapply it personally to himself and

admit his own lack of love for both

God and his neighbor.

So, instead of being justified by

throwing himself on the mercy of God

(Luke 18:9-14), he tried to justifyhimself and wriggle out of his

predicament.


24/47

do this and you will live

isthe promise of the LAW. But since no

sinner can obey perfectly, the

impossible demands of the law aremeant to drive us to seek divine

mercy (Galatians 3:10-13; 22-2). This

man should have responded with a

confession of his own guilt, rather

than self-justification.


25/47

He used the old debating tactic, Define

your terms! What do you mean by

neighbor? Who is my neighbor?

The road from Jerusalem down to

Jericho was indeed a dangerous one.[ rock y, w inding, treacherous decent ofabou t 3,300 feet in 17 m iles. That

st retch of road was no tor ious for being

beset with thieves and danger] .


26/47


27/47

Since the temple workers used it so

much, you would have thought the

Jews or Romans would have takensteps to make it safe.

It is much easier to maintain a religioussystem than it is to improve the

neighborhood.

Most of us can think up excuses for thepriest and Levite as they ignored the

victim. (Maybe we have used them

ourselves!)


28/47

The priest had been serving God at the

temple all week and was anxious to

get home.

Perhaps the bandits were still lurking in

the vicinity and using the victim asbait. Why take a chance?

Anyway, it was not his fault that the

man was attacked. The road wasbusy, so somebody else was bound to

come along and help the man.


29/47

The priest left it to the Levite, and then

the Levite did what the priest

didnothing!

Such is the power of the bad example

of a religious man. By using aSamaritan as the hero, Jesus

disarmed the Jews, for the Jews and

Samaritans were enemies

(John 4:9; 8:48). It was not a Jewhelping a Samaritan but a Samaritan

helping a Jew who had been ignored

by his fellow Jews!


30/47

The Samaritan loved those who hated

him, risked his own life, spent his own

money (two days wages for alaborer), and was never publicly

rewarded or honored as far as we

know. What the Samaritan did helpsus better understand what it means to

show mercy (Luke 10:37), and it

also illustrates the ministry of

Jesus Christ.


31/47

The Samaritan identified with the

needs of the stranger and had

compassion on him.

There was no logical reason why he

should rearrange his plans and spendhis money just to help an enemy in

need, but mercy does not need

reasons.


32/47

Being an expert in the Law, the scribe

certainly knew that God required His

people to show mercy, even tostrangers and enemies (Ex. 23:4-5;

Lev. 19:33-34; Micah 6:8).

See how wisely Jesus turned the

tables on the lawyer. Trying to evade

responsibility, the man asked,

Who is my neighbor? But Jesusasked, Which of these three men was

neighbor to the victim?


33/47

The big question is, To whom

can I be a neighbor?and

this has nothing to do with geography,

citizenship, or race. Wherever people

need us, there we can be neighbors

and, like Jesus Christ, show mercy.


34/47

Jesus made it SIMPLE and

PRACTICAL.

He moved it from duty to love, from

debating to doing.Committees are not always committed!


35/47

One of my favo r i te D.L. Moody

sto r ies i l lus trates th is po int ---

Attending a convention in Indianapolis,

Mr. Moody asked singer Ira Sankey to

meet him at 6 oclock one evening at

a certain street corner. When Sankeyarrived, Mr. Moody put him on a box

and asked him to sing, and it was not

long before a crowd gathered. Moodyspoke briefly, inviting the crowd to

follow him to the nearby opera house.


36/47

Before long, the auditorium was filled,

and the evangelist preached the

Gospel to the spiritually hungry

people. When the delegates to the

convention started to arrive, Moody

stopped preaching and said, Now we

must close as the brethren of theconvention wish to come and to

discuss the question,

How to Reach the Masses.

Touche! [tujet - superiority of an

argument].


37/47

To the thieves, this traveling Jew was a

victim to exploit, so they attacked him.

To the priest and Levite, he was a

nuisance to avoid, so they ignored

him.

But to the Samaritan, he was a

NEIGHBOR to love and HELP,so he took care of him.


38/47

What Jesus said to the lawyer, He says

to us: Go and keep on doing it

likewise (literal translation).wiersbe
