March 12. Read Luke 10:25-37. The Good Samaritan.
The Parable of the Good Samaritan is in answer to a question posed to Jesus by a lawyer, an expert in the Mosaic Law. The lawyer’s question was, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" (Luke 10:25). This question provided Jesus with an opportunity to define what His disciples’ relationship should be to their neighbors. The wording of the question does, however, give us some insight into where the scribe’s heart was spiritually. He was making the assumption that man must do something to obtain eternal life. Although this could have been an opportunity for Jesus to discuss salvation issues, He chose a different course and focuses on our relationships and what it means to love.
Reflect: What does this parable reveal about inheriting eternal life? How does our faith in Christ impact our relationships with those around us?
