STEEMCHURCH: The Good Samaritan

This teaching that Jesus dictates to us in his ministry in the earthly world is of great importance for our society, because if it is applied we will have a sensitized community and applying one of the main principles that Jesus entrusted to us, like loving your neighbor as if you loved yourself yourself This example that God did not explain is based on a Jew who was robbed, beaten by robbers, after what happened, a Jewish priest observed him and ignored him, then a religious Levito and did not determine it, until The Samaritan who stopped him assisted him with medicine for the wounds, and moved him to a safe place.

We emphasize the degree of importance of the history of the Samaritan, there was no type of social distinction, nor any discrimination. there was the humanitarian path the neighbor who today has become elusive in many nations, this Samaritan left a clear message to all those nations that today are separated by religious, social, or governmental doctrines.

• The Samaritan loved those who hated him,

• put your own life at risk,
or spent his own money (two days of salary for a worker),

• he was never publicly rewarded or honored, as far as is known.

I demand reflection. We must encourage love for our neighbor and break with all these errors that are committed daily, we must get closer to those who need it, without looking at the races, the social level, Religion. Jehovah and Jesus pointed us to a unique path that is the gospel and, therefore, we must have a sense of seriousness about it because this parable is narrated by Jesus himself to illustrate that charity and mercy are the virtues that will guide the men to godliness and holiness It also teaches that fulfilling the spirit of the law, love, is much more important than fulfilling the letter of the law. In this parable, Jesus extends the definition of neighbor. The choice of the figure of a Samaritan, considered a heretic for the most orthodox sectors of the Hebrew religion, serves to redefine the concept of neighbor that was later handled. Jesus, through this parable, shows that faith must be manifested through works, revolutionizing the concept of faith in Jewish religious life, among which are groups like the Pharisees whom Jesus often calls hypocrites because of their excessive attachment to the letter of the law and its oblivion to comply with the spirit of the law. The contrast established between the prominent ruthless religious leaders and the merciful Samaritan is a reminder to the teachers of the law (as is the case with Jesus' interlocutor) that they were forgetting the principle of true religion and Jesus employs a character despised by them to show them your error.

The parable of the Good Samaritan that appears in the Gospel of Luke is one of the most revealing and exists perhaps due to its practical degree in the reality that has happened from date to date, which has not sought a need that is presented to it. , o In the opposite case, many people ignore those they need at a certain time. Today there are cases in which there is no mercy among brothers and everything is linked to the lack of values ​​that we have today not only by governmental decisions. This has been lost for a long time. Until a next reflection of the ministry of Jesus.
