Luke 10:30-33 NIV

30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead.

31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.

32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him.

Sometimes we have the choice of taking the path of least resistance or going out of our way to do what might be uncomfortable.

When compassion is shown the receiver benefits and the giver is blessed and those who witness it learn a great lesson.

Lord help us.
