Luke 10:25-37
Matt 5:43-48
There's nothing special about loving people who love you or being kind to people who are kind to you. God's love is doing all this when it's nor reciprocal.
John 4:9
Jews always looked down on Samaritans as they worshipped idols and not God like the Jews who felt God was theirs. So they had no dealings with each other.
The priest and the levite who were Jews, didn't help their fellow jew. The priest may have thought it was due to the man's sins that got him in that predicament. The levite maybe thought the thieves were nearby so walked passed, but the Samaritan who had no dealings with Jews, was the one to help the jew. He showed love and compassion to an enemy, without thought of his own safety.
But it seems that in church we are holding each others tribes,culture,race against each other, in the church!!! In the Kingdom of God all those things should not matter. We must use this to undermine each other.
Deut 29:29
