The world has never more needed the example of Christ depicted in His Good Samaritan parable.
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
Christ’s saints are to be integrally, literally involved in helping others (1 John 3:14-22).
Luke 10:25-37
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
ARE YOU being the good Samaritan today or the Priest and Levite? What’s the difference?
“Condescend (stoop down in humility) to men of low estate.” Romans 12:16
FB Meyer on this parable of the Good Samaritan
“Luke 10:25-37
THE MAN WHO LOVED HIS NEIGHBOR
This parable was probably suggested by the journey up to Jerusalem. It may be founded on an actual occurrence. Notice how the Master answered the inquiry, Who is my neighbor? He said in effect: The question is not, Who will “neighbor” you? but, Whom will you “neighbor?” You ought to ask, Who wants my help? Neighborhood consists, not in what you receive, but in what you give. It is independent of race, creed and the ordinary sentiment of pity. Love overleaps all these distinctions and risks its very life in order to render help. In fact, this parable is a very poem of Love. It is to be compared with 1Co_13:1-13.
Notice those two clauses, He took care of him and Take care of him, Luk_10:34-35. It is thus that our Lord deals with us. When we are too far gone to ask for His help, He comes to our side and restores our ebbing life; and He raises up others to do the same. At the best, we are pilgrims and refresh ourselves in inns, but the home awaits us yonder! Begin by loving with your ‘strength’ and you will end with the ‘heart!'”
WHO are we in this parable? Are we the priest, the Levite, or the good Samaritan? In other words, are we real disciples, or are we fake religionists?
The refusal to help someone in need is a clear revelation of the disdain for God in the heart of the priest, the Levite. Counterfeit religionists.
God is Watching
ARE YOU PERSONALLY STANDING UP TO DEFEND, TO RENDER AID… to those who are unjustly dealt with, the poor? ALL who truly saved are. Everyone else is consumed with the sinful god of self. Read the resumé of the wicked, who are said to have a “form of godliness.” Read 2 Timothy 3:1-13. Repent and obey Jesus or perish (Matthew 7:19-21).
“If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. 11 If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain; 12 If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?” Proverbs 24:10-12
Why do the priests and Levites of this parable of the Good Samaritan ignore the needs of others? It’s because they were unrepentant and full of self, just as was prophesied of this last generation before Jesus’ return – where false professors, counterfeits would be “lovers of their own selves” and therefore could care less about anyone else but themselves (2 Timothy 3:1-13).
Those not actively involved in the Great Commission work of Christ prove they love self and not the Savior. Counterfeits.
“They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.” Titus 1:16
ALL who know and love the Savior are busy primarily, most prominently, about the “Father’s business.” (Luke 2:49) They have laid down their own lives in this fleeting work and are abandoned to Christ’s work. Daily they deny self, take up the cross (crucified life), and follow Jesus authentically (Luke 9:23-24; 13:3; 14:27, 33; 17:33; 19:27).
“Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 7:19-21
Saving grace, when a person is possessed by it, enables over coming sin and makes them free to obey God (Romans 6:14; Titus 2:11-12). Anything less is a lie.
“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.” 1 John 2:15-17
If you are not actively, today, busy about the “Father’s business” … you have chose to reject Christ and are His very enemy (Matthew 12:30; Luke 2:49; 19:27).
“But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.” Luke 19:27
Read that again. Who did Jesus say His “enemies” are?
Who is reigning in your life, on the throne of your heart today?
IF you are not seeking, serving, worship, obeying Jesus, you are separated from Him – you have rejected the Son of God. Read Matthew 7:13-29 and 1 John 3. You are hell bound. 100% you are a counterfeit and your fake “Christianity” of church attendance, etc. is a flimsy sham you hide behind. God sees right through it and is calling you to repent at once.
Jesus says “Come unto me.” (Matthews 11:28-30) Repentance alone will yield the refreshing of Heaven in your life. | Fresh Start with God
Jesus is the Ultimate Good Samaritan
All who truly love the Bridegroom supremely will follow Him – as He laid down His life for us, so shall we lay down our lives for Him.
The depth of the death and burial in your life is going to determine the height of the resurrection in your life (2 Corinthians 4:10-12). Nothing is going to work right without the cross at the center of your life – Christ’s redeeming cross, and the one He commanded you to take up daily (Matthew 20:38-39; Luke 9:23-24).
DO YOU really want to die as you are? Are you in prayer and ACTION in the Great Commission? If not, do you really think you will hear from Jesus “Well done”? Or will you hear “Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels” (Matthew 25:21,23, 41).
“Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.” Matthew 25:45-46
When we don’t help Christ’s sheep and His work, and others in need, we are an afront the bless-ed Savior – “ye did it not to me.” “Everlasting punishment” in hell awaits those who are not participating in the work of Christ. They prove they do not love Him supremely. Yet “life eternal” awaits those who are doers of the work of God, who participating in the “Father’s business.” (Luke 2:49) They prove their love for Jesus by their obedience to Him (John 14:15, 21-24; Titus 1:16; James 1:22; 2; 1 John 2:3-6; 3:1-10, etc.).
“Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 7:20-21
All who don’t have the “fruit” of Good Samaritan good works prove they are not known of the Father and will not be with Him. Such are in utter need of true repentance (Matthew 3:7-10).
Neglecting to help others in need, to participating in the work of the Gospel, the Great Commission, is sin. God sees it – He sees that you have ability to pray, to act, to give and is holding you personally responsible to obey Him with what He has given you to use for His glory.
God sees it. The sin of omission.
Enduring to the end in saving faith, is essential to eternal glory (Matthew 10:22; 24:13; Colossians 1:22-23; Hebrews 3:6, 12-15; 10:26-39).
“And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:” Revelation 2:26
Modern Laodicea
America is the doorway to hell – with the complete abuse of liberty and riches by the vast majority who claim they are saved. But God is going to judge each of us on the basis of His written Word, not according to that which laughingly calls itself “Christian” in America.
Hell is full of “good church members” who bid Godspeed to wolves who use them to build their own church “business” empire (2 John 9-11).
When’s the last time you fasted with prayer? When’s the last time you personally led someone to Jesus? WHO are you putting the Word of God into the heart of?
Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan is playing out before our very eyes (Luke 10:25-37).
Just like the religious priest and levite, the false professors of our day refuse to stop and render aid, practical help to the hurting. Instead they raise their noses undergirded by their false excuses – and God sees it all (Proverbs 24:10-12). Case in point is how many have done zero, have not even whispered a prayer for the unjustly jailed innocent J6ers, 1600 of them. When they were given the bless-ed opportunity to give so that the Scripture-rich ministry books could be sent to the J6ers, they refused to lift a finger to send even $10 or $20. Thank God for those very few who gave. In doing so you have treasure in Heaven waiting (Matthew 6:19-24). You are the good samaritans of our day, of these final days before our LORD returns!
The religious priests and Levites of today are those who have no charity, no love in action, proving they are goats who will be separated from the sheep of Christ’s pasture and vanquished into the flaming prison of fire. They were too busy justifying their demonic hatred for the man who GOD raised up and is using to set those innocents free. Trump.
Do we begin to see that this is much deeper, eternally deeper and more significant than a man, a candidate? See 1 John 3:16-22.
We are seeing the separation between Christ’s sheep and the goats (Matthew 25).
Maybe in His mercy, in the days ahead, God will allow these goats to be unjustly incarcerated for themselves to see how it feels. That would be mercy – because these people are as sure for hell – to be irrevocably incarcerated therein – as if they were already there.
They are “lovers of their own selves” and so have no heart for anyone else. They have a mere “form of godliness” (2 Timothy 3:1-13). They won’t so much as give up 4 cups of coffee monthly to feed the poor, to help fund the preaching of the Gospel to the lost.
Talk is cheap.
“Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.” Matthew 7:19
It’s simple: Repent and bring forth fruit meet for, consistent with, true repentance (Matthew 3:7-10). Render aid to those in need around you. Abandon your life in this world. Deny self. Take up the cross daily. Follow Jesus, or perish in the the flames of eternal damnation, world with out end, as a counterfeit, a self-serving rebel.
Perhaps the priest and Levite (mere religionists) who passed by and refused to help the man who was robbed and left for dead thought within themselves…. “Well, I help people at my local church. I give at the church.” But Jesus condemned both those religionists and confirmed the Good Samaritan.
Crushing the Lies – the Priest and the Levite Live Today
“The Parable of the man left by the side of the road, wounded and left for dead (Luke 10:25-37), serves as a model for the great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20), and represents loving Jesus with your whole heart, soul and mind and your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22: 34-40). The man in this Parable represents all of humanity in their fallen state. A dying world. Dead in their trespasses, with no hope. The medicine is the blood of Christ that can give us peace with God and cleanse us from our sins. V34 ‘Set him on his own beast,’ meaning the good Samaritan walked along side him. We are to be the good Samaritans who bring the lost to Jesus. Do we have compassion on the lost as Jesus did (Mark 6: 34)? Or are we selfish and too self-absorbed to see the people who are lying by the side of the road dying in their sin and in need of Jesus? Like the Priests and Levites did in the story, they passed by blinded by their own selfishness.” Karen Cochran
All organized religion is 100% false. It’s puts out the fire of the people. Christ did not come to begin a new religion but rather to establish His kingdom in the hearts of men (Matthew 16:18). Jesus says “Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3, 7). Religion is not the way to Jesus – Jesus is the way to the Father (John 14:6; 1 Timothy 2:5). Satan’s religions, while promising to be the way to God actually subvert the Gospel of Christ and prevent men from knowing Him, sending them to a devil’s hell irrevocably. This is something you never hear in organized liturgical cults or any organized churches. Repent now and follow Jesus only – according to HIS written Word (KJB). Or perish in the flames of eternal damnation. There is only one LORD, Savior, Redeemer, and KING – JESUS CHRIST. Make peace with God now – before it’s too late.

Money, Material Wealth, and Riches [podcast]
We know Jesus has mercifully found and saved and is taking care of us. And so we join the ultimate Good Samaritan, the Savior, in reaching out, taking care of, ministering to, loving others.
Do you desire for God to use you mightily as He did in the story of the Good Samaritan?
Stop. Surrender.
“If you see someone falling behind, walk beside them. If you see someone being ignored, find a way to include them. If someone has been knocked down (by life), lift them up. Always remind people that they are the very creation of God who has a special purpose for them in His family and in this temporal world. One small act could mean the world to them.” unknown

Is your life all about you or Jesus?
“And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.” 2 Corinthians 5:15
Precious one of the LORD, do people around you see Jesus? Do they see something in your life that is presently absent from their own life?
PRAYER: Holy Father, You are the Potter and I am Your clay. Please pour the water of Your Holy Spirit on my heart to make me poor and pure in heart. Please grant me to have an heart of flesh. Take away the stony places of my heart which were caused by my own rebellion, my own sin – namely self-righteousness, self-idolatry, pride, and unbelief. Please have Your way in my life. Here and now, I lay my life in Your hands. From this moment forward, not my will but Thine be done dear Jesus! Now please use me to help, to lift up the downtrodden. In Jesus’ name, amen.

The Good Shepherd and His True Sheep [podcast]

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant …” Hebrews 13:20
“To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.” John 10:3
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.” John 10:27-29
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11 persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.” 2 Timothy 3:1-13
“And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?” Luke 9:23-25

“He that Loveth Pureness of Heart” [podcast]

IS YOUR HEART PURE BEFORE THE ALMIGHTY BELOVED?
DO I truly love “pureness of heart”?
“HE THAT LOVETH PURENESS OF HEART, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.” Proverbs 22:11
Without a pure heart, obtained from seeking, worshiping, knowing, and obey God …. no one “shall see God.” Not one.
“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” Matthew 5:8
If you or I have every word of the Bible memorized and die today with a heart that is defiled with sin, we’d bust hell wide open – and be trapped there irrevocably forever.
TODAY is our day, it’s your day, to throw up those hands and that heart to the LORD who made you, and cry out to Him to grant you a pure heart, one that is innocent, clean, washed, delighting in Him.
“Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” Psalms 37:4
When the LORD is truly working in a man, that man is learning to love “pureness of heart.”
“He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.” Proverbs 22:11
Coming and continuing to come to the light is essential to final salvation.
“And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” John 3:19-21
Choosing the Fear of the LORD
WE must surround ourselves with the Word, the people, the praises of our God! FLOOD your ear and eye gates beloved (Proverbs 4:23). Jesus is coming.
“But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” John 3:21
Coming clean: To be sanctified by Christ, one must repent and believe upon Him. As the LORD works in them, there will be the response of honesty, humble repentance and a coming to the light, continually. If not, judgment will be incurred (Isaiah 1:19-20).
“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13
Those who cover instead of bring their depraved hearts into the light to have them changed and cleansed by the LORD, “shall not prosper.” In other words, they are stifled. Those who remain humble, teachable, correctable, rebukeable, and obedient, will receive divine mercy perpetually.
“God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.” Psalms 55:19
Those who refuse to “choose the fear of the LORD” have no changes in their lives.
“For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:” Proverbs 1:29
Psalms 73
“Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. 24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. 25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. 26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. 27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. 28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.” Psalms 73:23-28
Drawing Nigh (close) to God Afresh
“But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.” James 4:6-10

The Death before the Death [podcast]

Gethsemane Preceded Calvary
“And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, 42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. 43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. 44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.” Luke 22:42-44
“He must increase, but I must decrease.” John 3:30
“Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.” 2 Corinthians 4:10-12
“And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?” Luke 9:23-25

Shall We Freshly Declare the Cross to be Front and Center in our Personal Lives?
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20
