YOUR LIFE:
Social barriers of some kind exist in almost every community and among some congregations within the community of faith. Jesus calls us to a radically different lifestyle that commands us to show compassion and meet the needs of anyone despite race, creed, or color. To whom can you be a neighbor this week?
CLOSING THOUGHT:
The Parable of the Good Samaritan vividly illustrates what it means to love and show compassion to others unconditionally. This includes those who may hate you, pose a risk to your safety, and present unexpected economic cost (as it was for this Samaritan). The question for us is, “To whom can I be a neighbor?” so that we can show mercy and compassion to the hurting and those in need.
CLOSING PRAYER:
Father, open our eyes that we may see the needs of others as you do. Help us to see meeting the needs of others as your charge to us as your representatives in the world. Thank you for calling us to join you in the ministry of caring and showing mercy. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen
