In the story of the Good Samaritan Jesus sets love above custom, law, and religious institutions but the corruption of this very best also poses the possibility of the very worst, in the words of Ivan Illich, in the institutionalization of the Church.

Sermon on the Gospel from Luke 10:23-37 for Trinity 13 by Rev. Jeff Hendrix. The title of this sermon was going to be a “Master Class in Law and Gospel,” because today's lessons do seem to be a Master Class in Biblical Interpretation – that is, how to understand the Bible. But I realized (after the service folders were already printed) that Master Class is exactly the wrong message: that's all the Lawyer who came to Jesus in our Gospel thought God's Word was – mere information, instruction, a how-to-manual on how to get into heaven. And that's also the way many people wrongly understand the parable of the Good Samaritan Jesus tells, I think it's why it's the world's favorite parable: for many it's just about morality, being a good person. But notice that Jesus said at the start to His disciples, “many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it” because they have missed the point of the Word of God. Like the oft-quoted but terribly depressing acronym, B.I.B.L.E. – “Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth” – If that's all the Bible is, comparable to a dishwasher instruction manual, there can be nothing more worthless to spend your time on. Not only does Scripture itself tell us that there's more to the Word of God than that, how to understand it and what its main teachings are (namely, Law and Gospel), but the Word actually has power and it works on me, like a refiner's fire, through its two main teachings: the Law and Gospel, or Command and Promise. To rightly distinguish these two is the most difficult and highest Christian art, only the Holy Spirit can teach this. But distinguishing the Law and the Gospel provides wonderful insight for understanding all of Holy Scripture. In rightly dividing the Word of Truth, Scripture opens itself and becomes a book of Comfort, and Consolation – in short, a Book of Life.
The Good Samaritan - Jesus' message is clear: we are all part of the same human family, and we must look out for one another, regardless of our differences. Through acts of kindness, love, and compassion, we can make a positive impact on the world around us - just as Jesus did. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gentleman-medium/message
In the parable of the Good Samaritan Jesus gives us not only His definition of “neighbor,” but of “love” as well. Luke 10:25-37 contains this compelling story helping us navigate how we can effectively love others today.
This sermon was preached at Crosswater Community Church in Sultan, WA on 3/5/23There is much discussion in our society about what Jesus said or didn't say as well as what He meant by what He said or didn't say. So how do we know who is right? We go straight to the source, HIS WORD! Journey with us in 2023 as we explore what Jesus said on a variety of topics and let's dig in together as we seek to understand, apply and live out all that "JESUS SAID". Now, seemingly more than ever, the definition of love in our society is often changing. So, how do we determine what the definition is, or if a definition even exists? As Christians, we believe that God is love and as such, He alone defines what love is. Since Jesus is God in the flesh, what He says about love and how He models it is our standard. Join with us as we look at what Jesus Said about love, how He lived it out and how we are to respond, in our sermon series You Shall Love. JESUS said the greatest commandment is to love HIM with everything you've got and to love your neighbor as you love yourself. This is impossible on our own and that's HIS point, we need JESUS! Using the famous story of the "Good Samaritan" JESUS teaches anyone willing to learn that perfect love is only accomplished by HIM and thus by humbling ourselves in trusting HIM, not trying to justify ourselves with our own actions.
“Jesus was tortured. This is easy to miss if the Passion Narratives are not read with attention to the issue of torture. In fact, the lengthy trial narratives of the four Gospel accounts are extremely valuable, albeit painful, accounts of torture and other abuses. Jesus was struck, spat upon, beaten, flogged, mocked, and finally plaited with a crown of thorns. Crucifixion itself was torture-execution, a slow, public mockery of a death intended to inflict the maximum emotional and physical suffering on the victim. Torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment was, is, and always will be a grave offense against human dignity and rights.” In regards to Jesus, maybe there's multiple ways to the one way. Maybe the ascension and the descending are about communing with us regardless of our moral deportment, not because we're just sin-stained rubbish and that's it. In sex, lovers should be protected and respected by each other in consequences, words/verbalizing, inquiries, by being high-quality hearted lovers (which makes them have high-quality genitalia and high-quality bodies), unconditional and unceasing empathetic/empathic love, doing what each other likes with glee each opportunity, liking what each other likes as much as one likes, necessary repetitions only, sex life interviews with one another, sensible concerns, thoughts, feelings, honoring the memorization of each other's sexual turn-ons and sexual turn-offs vocal tones, gestures, deeds, and body language.” -Antonio Myers. “Definition of organized crime for the purpose of these Modules Organized crime is a continuing criminal enterprise that rationally works to profit from illicit activities that are often in great public demand. Its continuing existence is maintained through the corruption of public officials and the use of intimidation, threats or force to protect its operations.” "In organized crime, I do remember that a handful of people had to speak through speech generator devices because violence robbed their speech ability, teeth were yanked out so they used dentures as replacements, freighthopping or train hopping, mob hits, professional hits, solved and unsolved crimes of all kinds, random crimes, systematic crimes, disappearances, hitchhiking, violently making people blind, violently making people deaf, violently making people mute, human nails were ripped out so replacement nails had to be surgically inserted, and sometimes the bodyguards “the killers” wouldn't always kill in front of me due to my sensitivities regarding that. Sometimes they did kill in front of me though, sometimes they didn't kill in front of me." -Antonio Myers “The women of my college years (some) would behave as “ traditional wives” in terms of cooking for me, cleaning me, having me watch their television screens, date nights at restaurants, getaway trips, etc. I'm not completely ascetic and I am not overly promiscuous either.” -Antonio Myers. By the way, the human rights violating scriptures are demonically inspired and the human rights-honoring scriptures are divinely inspired. I would like to think that the Bible has more good than bad, but the disturbing passages strongly challenges that. Overall, I use all religious texts for intellectual purposes. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support
Gospel Reading: Luke 10:25-37 At that time, a lawyer stood up to put Jesus to the test, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" He said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read?" And he answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself." And he said to him, "You have answered right; do this, and you will live." But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was; and when he saw him, he had compassion, and went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; then he set him on his own beast and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, 'Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.' Which of these three, do you think, proved neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?" He said, "The one who showed mercy on him." And Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."

Monday 8th February A beautiful to Monday to you in the name of Jesus. We are grateful to God for bringing us into another week. This is the second week of the month of February and God is always good. We are talking about love throughout this month and last week we were looking at the different meaning of love. We discussed the general view of love; what people have said, songs, movies, popular saying about love and we tried to see if we could come up with a true definition of love. At the end of the story of the Good Samaritan Jesus said to the man who asked him the question about neighbour “Who do you think was his neighbour?” It is clear form the question that Jesus asked the man that He expects us to think through things, and all we are trying to do is to think and rethink the things we know about love. This week, we will be talking about The Person of Love. Throughout out this week we will be talking about the fact that Love is a person. You can see that we are trying to come up with some agreement about this “love thing”. Love is a person and all throughout last week, we saw how we struggled with the different positions about love. Somebody that had an experience with love is this man called Paul. In the book of Ephesians 3: 18 - 19 (NLT) he said, 18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. 19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Paul was talking about the love of God and he said listen, I want you to know “how wide, how long , how high and how deep the love of God is. Then he spoke about experiencing the love of Christ that is too great to understand fully. If you read Ephesians 3: 19 in the New King James Version, it spoke about knowing the love of Christ that passes knowledge. Can you imagine? How do you know what passes knowledge? That was what we were dealing with last week, we were trying to know something that is beyond human understanding. You can see that this struggle to fully understand this thing called love is not something that began recently, Paul wrote this almost a thousand years ago and he also spoke back then about the difficulty in fully understanding love. But if there is anything I want you to know and settle in your mind, it is fact that love is a person. May God help us to understand and experience this love as we continue to think about it in the name of Jesus. May this week be wonderful for you in Jesus Name. God bless you. Enjoy your day!
In the parable of the Good Samaritan Jesus teaches us how we should reach out in response to injustice.

This installment of Power Points of Victory Dr.Johnson examines the true meaning of the Parable of Jesus Christ..."The Good Samaritan" Jesus told a story about a member of a dispised grop of people in Jewish society of that day (The Samaritans) and how they were more Godly than the Jews themselves. This mirros the reality of Christian Culture in the world today....especially in America. Christians talk about God and qote scripture bt in so many ways..the people that they dispise ( Muslims, New Age Believers, people of color, homosexuals, fornicators and the like) are more Godly than they are.. See Luke Chapter 10 and John 4:7
