This is a story that Jesus told. There was a certain man who was traveling from Jericho to Jerusalem. Thieves attacked him. They stole all his goods, clothes and money. They left him for dead. There were people traveling the road. A certain priest saw the man and passed on by. Then a Levite saw the man and passed on the other side of the road. The man who was beaten was a Jew. Then there came a Samaritan and he had pity on the man. He bound his wounds as best he could. He picked up the man and brought him to an inn. This stranger paid for the beaten man to stay until he was better. He told the inn keeper if I own you anything more he will pay it on my way back. Jesus was explaining what God had been trying to teach man for 1000’s of years. We are not only to be involved with God, but also with our fellow man. We are social being. God made us that way so we could be with other people. Just think you didn’t want to be around people. What would happen to you? What would happen to you when that person who helped you wouldn’t have? Ever since Adam and Eve, God has had 2 rules to live by. The first is the love God with you whole heart, soul and mind. The second is like the first. You are to love your neighbor as yourself. In those 2 laws are all of the bible.
