Theme: THE GOLDEN RULE
Text: “And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said unto him, What is written in the law? How readest thou? And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself.” – Luke 10:25-27.
Comment: The leading text for today shows a question asked by a lawyer and the response of Jesus Christ. The entire account showed the wisdom and sagacity of Jesus Christ – the Greatest Teacher – as well as the hypocrisy of the lawyer whose intent was to tempt Jesus Christ. After Christ had answered his question, as stated in the key text, “…he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?” (Luke 10:29) Responding, our Lord narrated the popular parable of the Good Samaritan. He stated that a man who was traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho was attacked by armed robbers and was dispossessed of all his belongings and left half-dead. A Priest and a Levite passed by and did nothing to assist the wounded man. But a Samaritan who came by, assisted the man and made sure he was treated. (Luke 10:36, 37) Let us continue to show love to all men irrespective of tribe, colour, caste or race and God will bless us by His grace. – 1 Peter 2:17; 1 Thessalonians 3:12.
