But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"
Each of us at some time or another has identified with the priest or the Levite who passed by on
the other side or perhaps in our better moments with the Samaritan himself who ministered to the
man who had been beaten and robbed. But we will never have the power to be the loving man or
woman God means for us to be until we identify with the man who is lying bruised and beaten
beside the road and have discovered that it is Christ himself who has been the Samaritan binding
up our broken hearts and lives.
(Luke 10:29
NRSV)
The lawyer who asked Jesus about the great commandment wanted clarification. "And who is my
neighbor?" he asked. At this point Jesus told him a parable--a parable all of us know by heart--the
parable of the Good Samaritan.
Lord Jesus, thank you for binding up my broken heart that is now filled with you. Amen.
