Next on In Touch, a modern-day Samaritan.

Our text is one of the most familiar in all the Bible.

In fact, people know about this text, who are not even Christians, and know very little about the Bible. In fact, people know about this text who are not even Christians and

know very little about the Bible, but they have heard of the good Samaritan. So I want

us to look at this passage of Scripture from the modern day perspective, because these are

certainly days when the spirit of the Samaritan needs to be absolutely evident in all of us who

are believers. So if you'll turn to the 10th chapter of Luke, I want us to read it so we'll

have a good background and you understand where we're headed here. And the title of this message

is the modern-day Samaritan. That's us, we, all of us. So beginning in this 10th chapter, and let's start

with verse 25. Jesus was speaking, and the lawyer stood up and put him to the test, putting

Jesus to the test, saying, teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

Now, this passage is not about how to get saved.

It's about revealing to this man what his true attitude was and helping him to see what the

issue was in his life while he thought it was something else.

He said, what must I do to inherit eternal life?

And so he said to him, what is written in the law?

How does it read to you?

And he answered, you should love the Lord's your God with all your heart,

with all your soul, with all your strength, with all your mind,

and your neighbor as yourself.

It's interesting that Jesus said it that way.
