路加福音10:25-37 谁是我的邻舍?
Dear brothers, sisters, and friends, good morning. Today, I want to tell you about an American priest who encountered something when he was a student. It is said that when he was a student, the area where he lived, such as Changhuang, Poqian, Duping, Juxing, and so on, black clans, gangs, gangs, disputes, fights, and so on, are often heard of.
So this student moved in, and started to have this so-called idea of moving money. Unexpectedly, on this night, he personally experienced the killing. On that night, when I was driving home from the library, near my house, I saw a young man behind the wheel holding a stone, hitting another young man lying on the side of the road.
At that time, it was still early, and the passers-by were coming and going, but no one reached out to stop them. What's more, someone was standing by and watching silently, with no mercy at all. I immediately turned on the traffic lights, and wanted to scare him, but the young man, continued to hit the young man with the stone in his hand.
I parked the car next to them, and opened the car door while I was sitting. The young man, jumped into the car, and we left the scene in a hurry. I took the injured man to the hospital, and made a statement to the police.
I don't know how the police will handle this matter. Brothers and sisters,.
Friends,.
I want to ask, who is my snake? This is today's topic. Welcome to listen to the update on January 15th, 2017, on the Mainland Chinese Alphabet. Today's Mainland Chinese Alphabet is recorded in Lujia Fuyin 10, pages 25 -37.
Who is my snake? In this world, in many places, this kind of attitude is very common. Some people call this a humanistic view of life.
In other words,.
The so-called.
Nihilistic.
Atmosphere in the world.
Has become.
A criminal atmosphere. This has formed local gangs, and people use these local gangs to protect them, so as not to be burdened by another gang.
They can.
Be in such a situation, at least they can have mutual love, so-called love, accept,.
Support,.
And exclude.
Other people who are not related to them. Today's text records the well-known metaphor of the Samaritans. Let's start from this metaphor to discuss four basic questions,.
That is,.
The four W's in the English alphabet, that is,.
What,.
Who,.
When,.
Which,.
And.
How. The first W is.
What.
Here, the text says.
What should I do to live forever? This is a good question. It is a question but sometimes a good question does not mean that the person asking has a good intention. In the 25th chapter, the prophet got up and tested Jesus.
St. Luther only recorded this prophet and did not ask Jesus with good intentions.
Notice.
This prophet.
Asked.
What he should do. He thought that to bear.
The inheritance,.
He must do something. I think he was mistaken.
The inheritance.
Is the relationship between the inheritor and the inheritor.
Between the inheritor and the inheritor. But here, the Law says that we must rely on this form to bear and to inherit the promise we made, that is,.
To live forever.
This promise cannot be by this person or this form to live forever. This promise to live forever.
Is a great.
Grace from God. Since this person is a Lawyer, he must be a Lawyer according to the Law. So Jesus asked him, What is written in the Law? How do you read it? The Lawyer.
Gave Jesus the answer,.
That you must love your Lord.
Wholeheartedly.
And love your neighbor as yourself. At least in the Lawyer's mind, he knows that Jesus does not want us to follow the Law and do what the Law tells us to do. Do not do this, do not do that, etc. How do you bear this eternal life?
Here,.
We must love our Lord wholeheartedly, wholeheartedly, wholeheartedly, and love our neighbor as ourselves.
Jesus replied,.
Your answer is that you must live forever. Does this Lawyer truly love God, truly love his neighbor? In order to show that he is right,.
This person.
Must be confused. Maybe he really does not know. Maybe he wants to show off his wisdom. He continued to ask.
Jesus,.
Who is my God? The second question was,.
Who?
Who is my God? Does the Lawyer really not know who his God is? Let's take a closer look at how Jesus responded to this question.
Jesus replied.
As a good Samaritan. There was a man from Jerusalem who met a robber. He was injured and his body was scattered. The robber left the robber on the side of the road.
The robber.
Left the robber and went away. There was a priest who was in charge of the sacrament.
In the temple.
He was also from Jerusalem. When he saw the robber lying on the road with blood all over.
His body,.
Went away.
Why?
Because if the robber touched the blood.
On the road,.
He was disrespectful. He was concerned about the sacrament being held in the temple. He was a priest. He was not an emergency rescue worker. So, the robber went away.
The second.
Person was a also known as the Saviour of Jerusalem. They should have been proficient in the sacrament. But, just like the priest, when he saw the robber lying on the road with blood all over his body, he also went away.
The third person was.
A Samaritan.
Who was discriminated against by the Israelis. The Samaritans are the so-called people who are.
In conflict with.
God.
And,.
They are also more extreme. They are to the Jews and the Israelis. But, here, the Samaritans hurt the injured.
People.
With their blood.
The first thing.
He saw was the injured.
Man.
He came from Jerusalem. He was an Israeli. He had blood all over his body. He could not move. He was lying on the ground. He needed someone to help him stop the bleeding. The Samaritans hurriedly came forward and poured oil and wine on his wound and wrapped it around his wound.
They also carried him on their back and carried him to the hospital to take care of him.
The next day,.
The injured man was still unconscious. The Samaritans gave him 2 ,000 ringgit to the shopkeeper. This is not a small amount. It should be enough to keep the injured in the shop until he recovers. Not only that, before the Samaritans.
Left,.
They told the shopkeeper Zhao Ying Zhou Wei, I will pay. Who is my neighbor? The lawyer asked. But Jesus did not directly answer the lawyer's question.
First, he did not need to. Because the lawyer's question was not the real question. The lawyer's question was to test Jesus. Second, Jesus turned the question.
Around.
And asked the lawyer.
Which one.
Of these three is the in the hands of the robbers?
Who is.
My neighbor?
No.
The question should be Who loves his neighbor as much as he loves himself? Attention! The neighbor is the one who is truly by your side.
He.
Is the one who is in your daily life who has blood and blood.
Everyone is my neighbor.
No matter.
What race, nationality, religion, age, etc. Including the fetus in the womb.
The basic question is not.
Who.
The basic question is.
Of these three.
Is.
The.
In the hands of the robbers? Jesus said the one who has seen these three robbers is the robber. First, chapter 31, chapter 32, chapter 33. These three are the in the hands of these three.
Robbers.
Who is your in the hands of the robbers? The answer should be the one you have seen. You are the neighbor. They are your neighbor. The real question is which one? Is it Jesus? Or is it Leviticus? Or is it Samaria?
Think about it. Which one is you? Rifa may be speechless.
It is the one.
Who has seen.
These three robbers. He may not even say it is Samaria. He may be ashamed to say this name.
Jesus.
Answered him.
You go to Zion.
Even even.
We go to the 4th w.
What is it.
You want to say?
How to love your neighbor? How to love God? How to bear life? Jesus has already answered.
Rifa,.
Answered it for him. Jesus said this answer through this metaphor through the actions of good Samaritans, to show it. The one who holds his hand and follows the commandments of God, loves God and loves his neighbor, is not a Christian, not a Jew, but a Samaritan who is considered an outsider by the Israelis.
These Samaritans still do not know how to worship God in the temple of Jerusalem. The Jews are familiar with the law of the land, and rationally and rationally, they should know the commandments of God, the teachings of God.
The question of the Law of the Land is no longer a question of knowledge. The question of the Law of the Land is a question of faith. It is the faith in the Samaritans' hearts. It is the eternal heart that the Samaritans have shown in this metaphor.
How to love God? As it is often recorded in the Bible, you should love God with all your heart, with all your mind, with all your strength,.
With all your will.
From your own self, how do you know you love God? You love Him because you love Him too. The self itself explains to you that it is God. This is how you love God. Love Him. Love Him. Love His teachings.
Love His Way. Love His Communion. Worship Him. Love the brothers and sisters in the Lord. Love your neighbor from now on. You must bear eternal life. God considers you His children. For these people,.
God has mercy on them.
He will punish us for our sins. He will no longer punish us for our sins. He will heal our hearts. The hearts of those who once hated God are now transformed into hearts that love God.
Therefore,.
I also love my neighbor. We love because God loves us. Thank you for listening.
