They stripped him of his clothes, beat him up, and left him half dead beside the road. \u201cBy chance a priest came along. But when he saw the man lying there, he crossed to the other side of the road and passed him by.&nbsp;A Temple assistant&nbsp;walked over and looked at him lying there, but he also passed by on the other side. \u201cThen a despised Samaritan came along, and when he saw the man, he felt compassion for him.&nbsp;Going over to him, the Samaritan soothed his wounds with olive oil and wine and bandaged them. Then he put the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn, where he took care of him.&nbsp;The next day he handed the innkeeper two silver coins,&nbsp;telling him, \u2018Take care of this man. If his bill runs higher than this, I\u2019ll pay you the next time I\u2019m here.\u2019 \u201cNow which of these three would you say was a neighbor to the man who was attacked by bandits?\u201d&nbsp;Jesus asked. The man replied, \u201cThe one who showed him mercy.\u201d Then Jesus said,&nbsp;\u201cYes, now go and do the same.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/em>Luke 10:25-37<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>The Question: <em>What must I do to inherit eternal life<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>It\u2019s Not That Complicated<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Jesus replied,&nbsp;\u201c\u2018You must love the&nbsp;Lord&nbsp;your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.\u2019&nbsp;This is the first and greatest commandment.A second is equally important: \u2018Love your neighbor as yourself.\u2019&nbsp;The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/em>Matthew 22:37-40<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>No, O people, the&nbsp;Lord&nbsp;has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/em>Micah 6:8<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Question About Compassion &nbsp;One day an expert in religious law stood up to test Jesus by asking him this question: \u201cTeacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?\u201d Jesus replied,&nbsp;\u201cWhat does the law of Moses say?
