Love like you can by being aware of their needs

Read - (2 1/2 minutes) - "But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and  when he saw him, he had compassion.” (Luke 10:33)
     Passage: Matthew 9:35-38


         Jewish law said that a Jew must help a fellow Jew, but it didn’t obligate them to help anyone else. The Priest and Levite in the parable of the Good Samaritan never got close enough to (1) see if the man was even alive (2) to find out if he was a Jew. They did not want to be bothered with the inconvenience or the potential cost of getting involved, so they ignored him by moving to the other side of the road and keeping themselves unaware of his true situation and how they might help. The Samaritan, on the other hand, saw the beaten man. He accepted the man as a person of value just by being human and he made himself aware of the man’s condition. That awareness filled him with compassion.
         It is not unusual for a person charged with a hit and run offense to claim that he wasn’t aware he hit anyone. In our daily lives, we can get so busy and focused on ourselves that we lose sight of the people and needs around us. If you are a believer in Jesus, the Spirit of Christ within you loves people and has compassion for them. Let Him help open your eyes to see and be aware of their needs.
