This story begins with a lawyer tempting, Luke 10, verse 25,
Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tempted the Lord Jesus
Christ, saying, Master, or Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal
life? He pretended to be a legal expert,
and maybe a religious lawyer. They were both back then and
now. He claimed to be an expert on the law, on legal matters,
justice. But he knew neither, nor do men
now. They don't know the law, and
there is no justice. We read that in Isaiah 59, didn't
we? There is no justice. Is there
any justice in that, anywhere? No, because the Scripture says
there's not a just man by nature. Ecclesiastes 7.20 says there's
not a just man on the earth that doeth good and sinneth not. And so unjust men don't want
justice. And so I say, like our brother
Paul said to those that desire to be under the law, don't you
hear it? It's a curse. I'll say there's
nothing wrong with the law. It's holy, it's just, it's good. But we're not, by nature. This man tempted the Lord. If we don't keep the law, we
tempt the Lord. We try Him, we test Him, we taunt
Him. We don't keep the law. If we
question God and His Word, we tempt Him. Anybody who questions
God, murmurs, complains, doesn't believe God's Word, tempts
God and puts Him, tries Him and taunts Him. Anybody that questions God's Word without
a true desire to be taught by it is tempting God. If we desire to be under the
law, we don't know. If we don't know God, we don't
know ourselves. If we question God and His Word,
if we tempt Him, then that isn't that mankind. Now, our Lord posed
two questions that need to be, that scrutinize all humanity.
Look at verse 26. He said unto this man, What is
written in the law? How readest thou? Those two questions. I've got to begin with this,
because this is why he gave this story. What is written? All humanity is under these two
questions. What is written in God's law? What does the Word of God say?
What's written? People don't know. They don't
care. They don't care. How read is that? How are you
reading the Word of God? Some do read it. How? Why? What are you reading it for?
What are you looking for? How do you read it? Do you read
it to be taught? Do you read it to be instructed
by God? Do you read it to know God, to
know the truth? Do you read it to know self?
Do you read it? Isn't that a question that needs
to be asked of everybody? What does God's Word say? Most
say, I don't know, I don't care. Well, if you do read it, how
do you read it? Then they'd say in one place, take heed how you
hear. Take heed how you hear. God's Word is light. God's Word
is understanding. God's Word is peace. It's joy. It's wisdom. It's truth. It's
salvation. It's mercy. It's grace. It's
God. Because God is all that. Well, he said in verse 27, the
man answering said, Now, our Lord answered him and said, here's
the law. Thou shalt love thy Lord thy
God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, with all thy strength,
with all thy mind, and thy neighbor as thyself. Love your neighbor
as much as you love yourself. He fulfilled the law. All the law fulfilled him. This
do and live. Verse 28, He said unto him, Thou
hast answered right. This do and thou shalt live. That's what the man answered.
You're right. This do and live. Listen to Romans. Listen to what Romans says, which
few people understand. There's no... Jew and Gentile
are all under sin. There's none righteous, no, not
one. There's none that understand it. There's none that seek it
after God. They're all gone out of the way. They're together
to become unprofitable. There's none that doeth good, no, not
one. This is Romans 3. It goes on down to say there's
no fear of God before they're out. There's not a more relevant
passage right now than in Romans 1 and Romans 3. That whatsoever the law saith,
it saith to them that are under the law. Who's that? Every human
being born under the law. That every amount may be stopped.
Are people's mouths stopped today? They've never been more active
than we know. Why? Because God sent the law
as a schoolmaster to him, bless his holy name. We know every
mouth stopped, and all the world become what? guilty before God. Oh, no, there's some good in
everyone. That's what they said. How read is that? What's written? How'd you read that? Brother
Henry Soard, a dear, faithful man, wasn't he? Oh, he loved
the truth, and he would tell the truth. He'd tell the gospel
to his family. And he told me one time he was
reading it to a brother or sister, just reading Romans 9 or something,
and he read it, and his sister or brother, I forget which, said,
My Bible doesn't say that. They said, I don't like that.
He said, I'm not giving you my opinion. I'm reading God's Word.
I don't care. I don't like that. That's what's written there.
How'd you read it? Brother John, Matt, how'd you
read that? Is that you? Do you see yourself there? Does it stop your mind? Are you
guilty before God? I've got good news for you if
you're guilty. The law is guilty. This do and live. Moses wrote
that. This do and live. But. Oh, the but's in Scripture. But now. The righteousness of
God without the law is manifest, clear, the righteousness of God,
which is by faith, what? Of Jesus Christ, unto all, and
upon all that believe. It's no different. Because all
have sinned and come short of the glory of God, but justified
freely by His grace. I don't care if I get past this
verse. Do you hear me? Justify from all things by which
you cannot be just. Doctrine, brethren, the whole
world is going to stand before a holy and just and righteous
God. So you can keep my love. But, but, no but is written.
But we didn't read it. Yes, you didn't read it. We didn't
know it. Yes, you did. You didn't like
it. Well, all of God's people, who were just like that, both
of them, came and revealed the truth to them, revealed Christ
to them, the Law Keeper to them, that He did, and that we live.
When the Lord said to him, This do, they live. Die, and they
live. That's his name. Oh, we have justified freely.
All right, let's go back. Let's go back to Luke 10. Yeah, we could go to Romans 10,
could we? Just like Luke 10. Those that know it. Luke chapter
10, verse 29. But this fellow willing to justify
himself said unto the Lord, But who is my neighbor? I know it
says that, but who do I have to love? That's what he said. And shalt not covet thy neighbor's
wife. Well, who is my neighbor? It's not funny. If that's mad, I'd get around
the law. This was a lawyer. That's what
lawyers do, don't they? Let me find a loophole here.
Not those guilty. guilty of all charges. I'm guilty
of all charges. There are no loopholes. Every
jot and tittle of the law must be fulfilled, our Lord said,
and you and I can't keep one tittle. Right? Oh, bless God. We need a good
Samaritan. We have one. Justify himself. Over in chapter 18, our Lord
spoke the parable of of the publican and the sinner coming into the
temple, remember? The Pharisee and the publican
coming into the temple, coming to church. And the Pharisee prayed
thus with himself. He loved to hear himself pray.
And our Lord said, He said this parable to those who justify
themselves, that they're righteous. And that man said, I thank you,
God. I do this, I do that. He said, I'm not like this publican
up here. I'm not like him. All right? And the publican,
all he could do was, Lord, I'm guilty. Have mercy. All terms, I'm guilty. You know
what the Lord said after that prayer? He said, I tell you,
this publican No sadness in him, went to his house, justified. That's all things. Justified. Why? For doing what? For doing
nothing. For asking for mercy. Salvation
is by mercy. But now Christ had to keep the
law. All right, now he tells this parable. Let's get into
the parable. Jesus answering him said, and
I doubt that this man heard anything in this or understood anything,
but oh, it's a blessing to us. He told this parable. A certain
man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among thieves,
which stripped him of his raiment, wounded him, and departed, leaving
him half dead. A certain man. Went down from
Jerusalem to Jericho. He went down from Jerusalem to
Jericho. Jerusalem was the city of David
where the temple of God was, where the people of God were,
where the truth was. It was supposed to be the truth
of God, the city of God, the city of peace. Why did he end
up in Jericho? That's the place where the Lord
cursed. When he was on earth, he didn't
save anybody in Jericho. One blind man coming in, one
publican going out. He said, that place is cursing.
Well, this man fell. He went down, didn't he? From
the city of God to the city of the cursing. He left the celestial
city and went to the city of destruction. He fell. That's
man. Mankind is fallen. He's a fallen
creature. He knew God, dwelled with God,
loved God. Oh, he failed it. He became cursed. He fell. Oh, how far he fell. He fell among thieves. He fell
among thieves. That's the world, the people
in it. The God of this world is a thief,
a robber. Thieves, robbers, takers, plunderers, trespassers. The earth is the Lord's, and
the fullness thereof, the world and they that dwell therein.
And man is supposed to be a thankful creature, a creature of prayer,
asking the Lord, and when he gives, give him the glory and
the praise for those things that he does to them. His mercy, His
grace, His lovingkindness, His provisions, all that, but no
man's a taker in it. Takes what doesn't belong to
him. Robs God of His glory. Religion's a worse. Ephesians
2 says, "...of us, we were just like them." Ephesians 2 says,
"...we were just like them, walking the course of this world according
to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now
worketh in the children of disobedience." and robbers, among whom all we
had our conversation in time flesh, doing what? Gimme, gimme,
gimme. Lust of the flesh, lust of the
desires of the flesh and the mind. By nature, children of
wrath, who we mad at? God. But you know, that's us. He fell among thieves. He could
say he fell in with He was just like them. Right? Listen to Proverbs,
and I wish everybody, young people especially, could hear this Proverbs
1. I'll tell you who will hear it, it's who God intends to hear
it. Oh, he said the Proverbs of Solomon, God, to know wisdom
and understanding, to receive instruction, justice, judgment,
equity, to give subtlety to the sinful. The young man, knowledge
and discretion. Wise men will hear and increase
and learn. Fear the Lord is the beginning
of it. My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not with them."
If they say, come with us, let's wait for blood and lurk proudly
for the innocent without cause. Let's swallow them up. Those
that go down into the pit. We'll find precious substance.
We'll fill our houses with spoil. Come with us, son. Come with
us. Cast in your lot among us. My son, God says, Don't walk
with them. Don't go with them. They're thieves. They're digging a net. They're
going to fall out of it. They're digging a pit for themselves.
That's what it says. The ways of greedy, of gain.
Doth not wisdom cry? Our Lord's wisdom, He cried,
O ye simple! Why will you die? Don't cast
in your life. But John, we didn't listen to
him. John, we didn't listen to him.
We did not listen. Wise men were here when I was
a fool, and still a fool at times, and don't listen. And he fell,
fell in among thieves, robbers. What happened to him? Look at
verse 30. They stripped him of his arraignment, wounded him,
left him. After they got all they could
get from him, they left him. Some friends they were. Used to be a, still is a song,
quite popular in drinking circles. I got friends in low places.
That's real cute, isn't it? There ain't no friends in low
places. There's only one friend. Let's stick it close to my brother,
the Lord Jesus Christ, the friend that sent us. Because when you
run out of all that you have for them, they're going to fuck
from you. And they're going to strip you of everything you've
got. Strip you. You know, this being stripped
naked is so revealing, exposing. In Isaiah, chapter 3, I quoted
part of it. It said these girls, tripping
nicely, looking real good, got all their jewelry and all that.
Just look at me, look at me. God said, I'm going to strip
you naked. They're going to stand naked, shamed, and cut all their
hair off. Remember back in World War II,
the Jewish women were so abused, they shaved their heads, they
were in bonds, they were in captivity to approval of the Master. They
were exposed naked. God says, that's what I'm going
to do. Why? Pride. I don't know. But to those, there is hope.
To those that one finds himself wounded, bruised, naked, ashamed,
just groan, just cry, you'll get comfort. In Hosea, that's
what he said about Gomer. I'm going to strip her naked.
I'm going to remove all her lovers. I'm going to take everything
and everyone from her that I gave her, that she took credit for. And I'm going to strip her naked.
And you know what I'm going to do after that? I'm going to buy
her back. I'm going to take her out in
the wilderness. I'm going to allure her and I'm going to speak
privately to her. A bunch of them just like her.
But I'm going to speak to her. Why? Because she's mine. And then what I'm going to do,
I'm going to pay the price. I'm going to clothe her, put
jewelry back on her, and walk her down the aisles of heaven.
Look what I've done. Man. That's this story. This story. Well, he was wounded. He was... And they left him half
dead. Half-dead, almost gone, as good
as dead. That is, he's as good as dead.
Scripture says man is born dead in trespasses and sin. He's dead
to God, isn't he? That was me. Dead, blind. Dead
means you're blind, you're deaf, you're dumb. You won't praise
God. You won't call on God. You won't
thank on God. You won't give thanks to God.
You won't do it. You'll curse. Dead to God. can't walk by faith spiritually,
but man is very much alive to this world and to the things
of this world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes,
the pride of life. So he's half dead. No, he's living
the good life. No, he's half dead. He's as good
as dead. He's a dying man, and he'll soon
be dead. That was his pattern. Left to die. What's going to
happen to him? He's left to die. He's as good
as dead. He's going to die real soon. Without hope, without God,
without Christ. What's going to happen to this
fellow? Only one thing will save him. A person. Half dead. Look at verse 33. But a certain
Samaritan. See where the gospel begins?
It begins with but. But first, verse 31, there a
priest came by that way, and he saw him. He saw him. He passed
by on the other side. Likewise, a Levite, verse 32.
He was at the place. He came. He looked on. He passed
by on the other side. This is the law, and these legal
fellows that think they keep it. The law can't help us there. Only condemners can. The law
can't pick us up. The law will only cast a stamp
on it. The law can't cover us. It only exposes us, strips us
down. And a lawyer can't help you.
Don't go to one of these places where somebody puts you under
the law. The law can't help you. And if
anybody preaches the law as a rule of life, they don't know God. And if you go there, you'll become
just like them, twice dead. Twice dead. Some of you are under that. Weren't
you? A man right back there sat under
that for a while, and he said, I didn't realize how much bondage
is in that. He must have heard the joyful
sound of liberty. Well, a priest and a Levite and
some of you were literally accosted by, confronted by, passed by
a priest, weren't you? Right here, and out here now,
there's some Catholics, Roman Catholicism, literally under
a priest who did nothing. He couldn't do anything for you,
could he? He couldn't do anything for himself, could he, Myron?
He's just as lost. He's a blind leader of the blind.
And to you, you're nothing to him, just another parishioner. The more parishioners, the more
money in the company. Like the Southern Baptists. No
different. But a certain Samaritan. Look at verse thirty-three. A
certain Samaritan, as he journeyed on a journey, came where he was,
saw him, had compassion on him. A Samaritan is a half-breed. The Jews didn't like the Samaritans
because they were half-Jew, half-Gentile. Half-breed. Remember the woman
at the well? She was a Samaritan. That's fitting,
isn't it? That's who the Lord came for. This lone woman. Because He Himself,
our Lord, was God and man. God and man. A child is born. Unto us a child is born. Yes,
a human baby, but the Son, the eternal Son of God is given.
God was manifest in that man. Made of a woman. What for? Made under the law. What for? To redeem them that were under the law. God to satisfy His own
law. Oh, you've heard this many times.
And I'm going to say it again. God to satisfy His own law. He
didn't have to do this. Why would He? There are a bunch
of rebels who don't care about His law. Why would He? Because
that's who He is. To the praise of the glory of
His grace. And nobody's going to share that. God made of a woman, made under
the law to redeem them that were under the law. The God-man. God
to satisfy His own law. They won't keep it. They can't
keep it. Isaiah said, He looked and He saw there was no man.
So He put on righteousness like a great man. I'll do it. For them? Yes, I'll do it. That
fellow in the ditch? God to satisfy His law, man to
satisfy God's justice, to die under that law, to become sin,
to be made sin. The gospel is two words. Listen
to me. Every good preacher, every preacher
uses this. Listen to me now. The gospel
is in two words, substitution and satisfaction. Substitution,
satisfaction. The law must be satisfied. You
can't. Sin must be paid for. The soul
that sinneth shall surely die. But God sent Christ to be made
sin for us, he who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness
of God in Him. Of God is He made unto us wisdom,
righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. This is your
hope of heaven as a person, to substitute, to satisfy. God is
well pleased. Look at this. It says in verse
33, he was on a journey. Yes, sent by the Father. Christ
came from heaven to hell. That's where he came. It's not
a good place he came to. It's hell. He came from heaven
to hell. He came to endure hell. He came
from glory to shame. He came from the throne to the
cross. He came from his Father to a bunch of people that didn't
want him. What mercy, what grace. But this was the mission. This
was his journey that was sent by the Father. And it came, verse
33, where he was, where this fellow was, wounded and bruised
and in the pit. Christ came where he was. This
fellow couldn't come to him. The Samaritan came to him. If
he could, he left Jerusalem, didn't he? That's where the law
was, that's where the truth was. He left there to go to Jericho.
If he could come, he wouldn't. So what did the Samaritan do?
Came where he was, and he saw him. He looked on him. And the look he saw was much
deeper than what the Levite and the priest saw. He looked on
this fellow with compassion. Look at it. He says, when he
saw it, he had compassion. The Levite looked at him and
said, oh, what a despicable fellow. The priest said, oh, man, I'm
glad I'm not like him. But this wonderful Samaritan
came and looked on and said, poor fellow. Oh, and his heart
went out to him. Compassion. Compassion means
felt, you feel what this person's going through. But how could
our Lord feel what we're going through? How could? Because He
encompassed Himself within the firmament. He was made in the
likeness of sinful flesh as we are, tempted at all points like
as we are. He understands. He knows our
pain. This is one of the most blessed
and wonderful and comforting thoughts that I know of in the
Scripture. Like a father pitieth his children,
so the Lord pitieth them in theory. He's very pitiful, very courteous,
very kind, very understanding, God full of compassion. That's
what Isaiah wrote. David, thou art a God full of
compassion, ready to pardon. He's able, we're saying, and
He's willing. Doubt no more. He looked on this
man with compassion. Love. Oh, behold, what manner of love
the Father has bestowed upon him. Oh, God commended his love
toward his people. And why would we get sinners?
Lying in the pit. Did God love me when I was a
rebel against him? Yes, He did. Was Christ committed
to come after this rebel? Yes, He was. for the great love
of which He loved us, even when we were dead in sin. Now, for
some, you might die for a good man or even a righteous man,
but he fell in among thieves. Talk
about substitution. Our Lord was crucified among
thieves. He was made sin for us who knew
no sin. He was literally fell in among
thieves. Why? They crucified Him between
two thieves. Why? This journey He came on
was to save one of them. You're talking about a show of
love and mercy. This fellow lived his whole life.
Thief, a robber, a murderer. No good to anybody but God. Traitor had love that no man
did. Just as soon as that thief said, I'm getting what I deserve. And he looked to Christ. Lord,
remember me. He might not have smiled before
that. I believe he smiled on the cross and looked at me. Today,
shalt thou be with me in paradise. You know, there's joy in heaven.
I meant to bring this up in the first message. He said, Rejoice! Your name's written there. Your
sins are gone. There's joy in heaven over one
sinner that repenteth. He came where he was, verse 33,
and he saw him, and he had compassion on him. He had compassion on
him, God full of compassion and love. The Lord didn't just come
to earth where we are. Look at verse 34. It says he
went to him. He came where he was, but he
went down into that ditch in that pit where he was with him
and laid hold of him. Picked him up out of that ditch.
Went to him. He not only came where he was
and looked on him, but John, he came down, down in that ditch
with him. And came to, went to him. That's what he does to all. The
Lord comes to his people. He sends the gospel. And the
gospel will come to us. He said, My sheep hear my voice. Was he speaking to this man?
Yes, everything that's done or said is not written in this book.
It was a world couldn't contain. I'm sure he was speaking peace
to this man. It's okay. I'm here. I've come for you. I'll take care of you. And look at what he did. He went
to him where he was. He bound up his wounds Pouring
in oil and wine, this man had wounds and bruises and putrefying
sores from the sole of his feet. He was beaten to the top of his
head, no soundness in his flesh. And he'd been there so long,
his wounds stanched. The flesh had corrupted him.
Some people have laid in the gutter so long that people think
there's no possible hope for him. He's half dead, like your
brother. Like my brother. Some people
have laid in the ditch or the puke for so long that there's
no hope for him. He's such a stinking self-righteous. His self-righteousness stinks. Right? Like your mothers and
fathers. But God. He bound up his wounds. What did He bind them up with?
His wounds need to be bound up. What did He bind them up with?
His own garment. His own garment, his own robe.
He took his own robe off. Maybe he was wearing a linen
ephod. He took that off and bound up
this fellow, pouring in oil and wine all the while. Oil and wine
in his wounds, his bruises, and putrefied sores. What's that?
That's the gospel. That's God's mercy and grace.
It's righteousness and peace, mercy and truth met together.
It's the wine of the gospel in us, the blood of Christ, the
righteousness of Christ, the Spirit of God, the oil of gladness. Have you ever been half-dead? I'm
talking to believers now. All believers were this way before
the Lord came to us. And we often get this way, don't
we? In the world, we become, lack
of feeling, half-dead. We come and we sit and we hear
the gospel we don't hear. We're half-dead. We don't know
if we're alive, we don't know if we're a believer or not, because
of our foolishness. Read Psalm 107 all over again. Brother Kelly, I'm ready to go
back and read it again. Those four times it said, look
what they did, and every time it said, look what he did. Oh,
that men would praise the Lord for His good. It's wonderful
works, the children of man. Half-dead. Have you ever been
half-dead? Maybe you're half-dead right now. What's it going to
take? It's going to take this blessed gospel of righteousness
to cover your sin. It's going to take the oil of
gladness. It's going to take the wine of His blood and pour
it in. Open your mouth wide, he said,
and I'll fill it. This fellow hadn't had anything to drink,
but I could hear some wine. Oh, wine on the leaves, well
refined. Here, you hungry? You thirsty,
son? Here, open your mouth. Was that fellow groaning while
he was lying there? Was he crying? I believe he was groaning with
words that could not be uttered. that no one could understand
except that spirit. And he's right down there. What
is it? Help me. Help me. I'm here. I'm here. Always. Did we read that in that case?
To help me. Be not far from me. Didn't we read that in Psalms
71? Be not far from me. Robin is not. He never is. He can't. You're in him. He can't leave you. If you're in him, he can't leave
you. Somebody say amen. I heard Donnie
when I needed him. I just heard. Look at this. It says he picked him up and
set him on his own beasts. Save on his own beast. What's
it? Well, you know that everything and everyone in this world, man
is like a beast. So you know better than a beast.
Eating and drinking, no thoughts of God, looking down. He's a
beast. It has to be. But do you know that everything
and everyone in this world, God has purpose to use to bring you
to Christ? You know that? Everyone. He said,
I gave Ethiopian semen for you. The whole world exists to bring
you to me, Christ said. Isn't that something? My sin?
Yep. Those thieves I fell in with?
Yep. I remember when I was among thieves. I was among thieves,
just like them. They were among me. But I remember that, you know, when
the Lord started working on me, Then they didn't want anything
to do with it. They didn't want anything to do with it. And after a while, I started
seeing that that's not who I want to be with. I can't start coming
to hear the gospel. And I started, the Lord started
working, putting a desire like that woman at the well, started
making me hungry and thirsty for the truth. And I saw some
good people in Christ. I saw some righteous people,
people I wanted to be like, people I wanted to be with. And after
a while, I didn't want to be with those fellas. The Lord used
them to show me the pit from which I was digging, and His
mercy and His grace in choosing me, not those fellas. I went back later. And tried
to tell them, they weren't interested. But here I am. Where am I? Look at this, verse
34. He brought him to an end. Take care of this fellow. He's
wounded. He's bruised. He brought him
to an end. That's what this is. You know that? That's what this
place is, a hospital for half-dead. Place to be revived. Revive us
again and again and again, a half-dead. Go out in that dead world, come
in half-dead, revive us again. With what? Same thing, oil and
wine. A sanctuary for sinners, a city of refuge for those that
fell in among thieves. At church, I thought about, we'll
change the name of this place again to the Good Samaritan Inn. You know, that's what he says
to every church, you know, you're in God, in Christ, redeemed in
Him. That's where we are, in Him. You're dead, your life is hid
with God, in Christ, hid with Christ in Him. This is a good
place to be, in the end. And he gives specific explicit
commands to this fellow of the inn, verse 35, on the morrow
when he parted, he said he took out two pens, gave them to the
host, and said unto him, Take care of him. And verse 34, it
says, He took care of him. Who is taking care of this fellow?
The Lord is, the whole time. But he put him under another
good shepherd. The Lord said, I'll give you
shepherds after my own heart, and they'll take care of you.
I've given them already to. I've given them two pence to
buy whatever's needed. Two pence. What are they to buy? How am I to care for them? Same way I did. Oil would cost
a pence. Wine would cost a pence. You
go buy oil and wine. Buy the truth, and you keep anointing
that fellow with it. Clothing that fellow. You keep
covering that fellow. Minding up his wounds. Here's
two pants. You run out of that, there's
more where that came from. It'll never run out. Verse 35, he says, You take care
of him. Whatever you spend more, I'll
come again and I will repay you. One time the Lord said, Oh, blessed
is that servant whom the Lord finds feeding his sheep. He said,
He will. Well done. Well done. Now, our
Lord answered this way. He said, Now, verse 36, Which
of these three thinkest thou to this lawyer? Which of these
three thinkest thou as neighbor unto him that fell among thee? And the lawyer now says, He that
showed mercy on him. And said Jesus unto him, Go,
and do thou likewise, or do likewise. So all the laws fulfilled in
this love. Go do. I doubt that this lawyer
did that. I don't know. He wanted to justify
himself. He was tempting the Lord. I don't
think he did. But this is written to us. To those that have received
mercy, show mercy. Show mercy. Go and do thou likewise. What? Go tell others what great
things the Lord has done for you. What do you think this fella
talked about from then on? If somebody, would he go up to
somebody, Jennifer, and say, I got saved. I accepted this
Samaritan. Are you kidding? He came to me. He saw me. He poured in oil and
wine to me. He covered me. He brought me
to the end. He taught me, bought me, brought
me. He covered me. He had mercy on
me. He had grace on me. He's the
one that takes care of me. Chapped by the power of God.
That's what you're to do. Go tell others what great things
the Lord has done for you. He's given you two pens. Now
go spend it on others. The gospel. Okay, let's sing
in closing here.
