Golden Nuggets from my Bible Reading

Golden Nuggets from my Bible Reading - 1

In Luke 10 we read:


"But then a Samaritan traveler came along to the place where the man was lying, and at the sight of him he was touched with pity. He went across to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put him on his own mule, brought him to an inn and did what he could for him. Next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the Inn-keeper with the words, 'Look after him, will you? I will pay you back whatever more you spend, when I come through here on my return.'" (J.B. Phillips)

  • Good Samaritan detoured to check the condition of the victim.
  • He touched him...showing true care, concern, and compassion.
  • Doing so he knew the robbers could do the same to him.
  • He lifted him up onto the donkey and walked alongside.
  • He continued caring for the man throughout the night.
  • The next day he entrusted the Inn-keeper with the man's care.
  • He prepaid the Inn-keeper promising to pay more if required.
