Reflection of love...

The Parable of the Good Samaritan
On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, 'what must i do to inherit eternal life?"
"What is written in the law?" he replied. "How do you read it?"
He answered: "'love the Lord your GOd with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
"You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live."
In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he travled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.'
"Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?"
Then the expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him."
Jesus told him, 'Go and do likewise."

This is the passage that pastor Tim has preached on this sunday. I was reflecting on the last verse of what Jesus has said... "Go and do likewise..." I wonder what the world would be like if we all participated in this kind of loving action? Maybe we should be taking this passage a little more literally and understanding it a little more literally.
May your lives be full of His love and mercy and may our every act be a reflection of that!
