It is many times extremely difficult to know exactly how to help when we see someone in need. In this passage of God’s Word we see Jesus answering the question of what it looks like to love your neighbor as yourself, through the parable of the Good Samaritan. Through Jesus’ teaching we get the example to:
1. Notice and have compassion
Luke 10:33, Eph. 4:32, Col. 3:12, Gal. 6:2, 1 Pet. 3:8, Matt. 7:12
2. Holistically care for the immediate need
Luke 10:34, Matt. 15:32-39, James 2:14-26
3. Sacrificially provide for the need
Luke 10:34, 1 John 3:16-19, 1 Pet. 4:10
4. Allow God to transform you
Luke 10:33-35, Eph. 5:1-2, Rom. 12:1-2, 2 Cor. 5:17, Gal. 2:20
5. Keep the end in mind
Luke 10:37, Matt. 25, 2 Tim. 4:7-8
