Luke 10:25-37

Passing By

1. The places we avoid are probably the places

Jesus would steer straight toward.

2. What’s laying on the side of the road before us

is every bit as important as what is waiting at

the end of the road for us.

3. Need is a no-passing zone; no passing by, no

passing the buck, no placing blame.

4. It takes lots of money to be a Good Samaritan.

“Some wish to live within the sound

of a chapel bell; I wish to run a

rescue mission within a yard of hell.”C.T. Studd

If you think you are too important to help someone in need, you are only fooling yourself. You are really a nobody.

Galatians 6:3 NLT

Stoop down and reach out to those who are oppressed. Share their burdens, and so complete Christ's law. If you think you are too good for that, you are badly deceived.

Galatians 6:3 The Message

If anyone has material possessions

and sees his brother in need but has

no pity on him, how can the love of

God be in him? Dear children, let us

not love with words or tongue but

with actions and in truth.1 John 3:17-18 NIV
