Luk 10:32 “Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side. Luk 10:33 “But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion on him, Luk 10:34 “and went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
Jesus gave a parable of a man who went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among thieves who stripped him off his clothing, wounded him and left him half dead. Both the Priest and the Levite – those who were expected to assist the man – passed by, saw the man but passed by the other side of the road . But when the Samaritan saw the man, bandaged him, cleaned his wounds, took him on his donkey to an in keeper whom he paid to look after him.
It was a Samaritan; a sworn enemy of the Jews, who had compassion on an injured Jew, and paid the expenses of his recuperation. He went out of his way to help another man who he did not know , used his own resources without expecting to benefit in any way from his act.
“Helping others without expecting anything in return can bring lasting happiness. It can help you build long – lasting relationships, open more doors for you and bring meaningful success. Service to others results to a life of less stress, less anxiety and less frustration” ( LinkedIn). Don’t pass by the other side of the road; be there for others.
