Probably bo other parable given by •Jesus except possibly the Prodigal Sop, baa made^such a Seep impres­ sion as this one. It baa Inspired,al­ truistic service, promoted the.Idea of the brotherhood of man, and served to crystallze Christian thinking and service, I t. “What shall I do?” w . 25-29, ’ (1) The first question. This Iawyen, in his test question Implied that eter­ nal life ■was dependent upon his works, a Well nigh universal Jewish Idea, With a true teacher's skill, Jesus drew from his own knowledge of the law an answer to his question,, viz.; that, on. the ground of doing he | must love the Father with an undi-■ vlded heart; with all. his soul, the J seat of his emotions; with all liis strength—energies; and with all his mind—hla intellectual powers. The evidence of such a love la that ho must love his neighbor as himself. Summarized the Law. (2) The second question, (v. 291. Jesus had not said anything to this lawyer about belief, or faith, fop he wsb not yet ripe for that idea. He had summarized the law ana by this Meat Store (Formerly,C. H.

"lion, 22:37-40, It Is one thing to : read and summarise the law, and ■ quite another to rightly apply It, It j is (j -;te porsibla to ho ultra orthodox ; In our teaching and In our statements ; ,of belief, and yet to fall far short ; of doing. The force of this second} question la then, “Who must I love?" ’ lie avoids asking, “ Who can I love?" j The question was not a* to who will he neighbor to mo, but to whom shall I be neighbor? In answer to this Jesus employs this wonderful parable. (Note:—Explain the nature of a para­ ble and the Master's frequent -use thereof). • II. “(Jo and do thou likewise," vv. 80-37. That this Btory la not alono a parable but a literal experience la pretty generally believed- “The way of the transgressor" la a Jericho road, and the-traveler therein Is bound to be "stripped." if not always of. hla prosperity, then of his character, and will ultimately find himself “half^ dead." If left to himself he will sure­ ly die. Rom. B:6; 6:23J Jericho means “curse.” Who then la the man I can neighbor? Any wretch that is pass­ ing along the Jerlco road. Remem­ ber that Jesus Is dealing with the sec­ ond half ot the summary of the law. Three classes of men passed this man; CD The Priest, of all men the most likely to help that fallen one, created in the Image of God In whose worship he led. It Is easy to find an excuse for this exhibition of heart- lessneB8. The danger of robbers; of being suspected of complicity in the crime; the duties of his important of­ fice; the danger of contamination: a work not suited to his position in life. Let jub beware o f too. hastily Judging tbe priest until we examine ourselves. (2) The Levlte. Perhaps he had seen his superior in the temple wor­ ship; he drew nearer than the priest, perhaps for the purpose of investiga­ tion, but offers no remedy. (3) The Samaritan. This ostracized man would have been snubbed and cursed by the wounded man under any other circumstances. He therefore could certainly have been excused had he followed the example of Priest and Levlte.- He Is a type of Christ dealing ip grace' with one who had no claim upon him. Note the steps: (a) “He Journeyed," are’ we to be found visit­ ing the places of great need? tb) “I-Te came where he was,” evidently not from Idle curiosity, but to meet a case of needl (c) "He saw him,” Too often our eyes are blind to the misery about us. (d) “He was moved with compassion." , Tire compassion of Jesus was an active principle. Does misery move us to action? Does it send us to cases of need, or do. we wait for them to knock at our door? (e) “He bound up his wounds.” Not acting by proxy; not .sending him to a public institution. Real charity is accompanied by .warm, sympathetic, Christ-like, humah hearts in action. (f) “Brought him to an Inn and took care of him,” Love is Costly. It cost the Samaritan much to act this way. Racial pride, aesthetic re­ pugnance, commercial obligations, perhaps family duties, to aay nothlng of the actual expenditures of time and money. But Jove is a costly thing. Jesus himself fully portrays this pic­ ture, John 3:16. The road Was away from God's city, Jerusalem, It 1 b not so much the doing as the motive that compelled the doing. J It was not duty but desire, compelling love, that JeaUB is exalting.
