There is a cost involved in ministry. The question is, Are we willing to pay it? In the story of the Good Samaritan
there are three people who have the opportunity to rescue the man beaten in the
ditch. The first two looked but didn’t stop to help, but the Samaritan saved
the man. What happened here?
Priest
-There are chores about the house
but the work is in the fields.
Levite - Time to look but not concerned, caring, or moved to act
The
Samaritan was busy but had compassion He was
concerned, and acted. This represents God’s love in action.
Who
are you in this story?
It’s good to be religious, but are
you just acting, practicing or applying it? Remember that Religion that costs
you nothing is worth nothing –dead faith (James1:17)
Jesus said to, “Live a life for
Jesus, go in faith, and do God’s will always. Amen?
