So I want you to be able to hold on to these these good vibes a little longer.

So we're going to try to get in and get out today, all right?

So Luke chapter 10, verse number 30.

I'm going to read a few verses here from the new international version of the scriptures.

Luke chapter 10, verse 30 says, in in reply Jesus said a man was going down from

Jerusalem to Jericho when he was attacked by robbers they stripped them of his clothes they 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 to to a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan as he traveled came where the man was and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring out oil and wine. Then he put the man on

his own donkey, brought him to an end and took care of him. The next day, he took out two

Donari 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 in the hands of robbers?

The expert in the law replied, the one who had mercy on him.

Jesus told him, go and do likewise.

I want to end the reading of scripture there and I want to tag a title of this text.

I want to talk from this subject in our time together today. I'm outside.

Somebody say it like you mean. It say, I'm outside. I'm outside. I want to ease into this introduction with a question for your reflection. Is it just me?

Or does it seem like God has a tendency to strategically withhold information.

I'm just wondering if it's me.

I feel like he has certain conversations

during certain junctures of my journey with him that caused me to internally wonder,

you couldn't have told me that before we?
