The way we should be as Children of God



Mark 12:31 The second most important command is this: ‘Love your neighbor[a]your neighbor Or “others.” Jesus’ teaching in Lk. 10:25-37 makes clear that this includes anyone in need.)( the same as you love yourself.’[b]Leviticus 19:18 Forget about the wrong things people do to you. Don’t try to get even. Love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord. These two commands are the most important.”

Luke 10:29 But wishing to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”


 A Story About the Good Samaritan

25 Then an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. He said, “Teacher, what must I do to get eternal life?”
26 Jesus said to him, “What is written in the law? What do you understand from it?”
27 The man answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.’[a] Also, ‘Love your neighbor the same as you love yourself.’[b]
28 Jesus said, “Your answer is right. Do this and you will have eternal life.”

The Good Samaritan
30 Jesus replied and said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and they stripped him and [a]beat him, and went away leaving him half dead.
31 And by chance a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
 
Luke 10:33 But a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion,
34 The Samaritan went to him and poured olive oil and wine[a](olive oil and wine These were used like medicine to soften and clean wounds.) on his wounds. Then he covered the man’s wounds with cloth. The Samaritan had a donkey. He put the hurt man on his donkey, and he took him to an inn. There he cared for him.
35 On the next day he took out two [a]denarii) and gave them to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return I will repay you.’
36 Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands?”
37 And he said, “The one who showed mercy toward him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do [a]the same.”
