Luke 10:33 (NASB) "But a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion,"They are all around but we never see them until it's time for them to help and maybe we are one of them too! During a recent family accident, they came, people who stopped along their busy days to lend a hand! Today's verse speaks of a Samaritan who on a journey stopped and help because he felt compassion! We have all heard the story about the Good Samaritan but I wonder if we know that Samaritans, at that time, were considered enemies?! Sometimes it can be your enemy that comes to help you in your time of need and I wonder as I pondered those who came to help in our situation, if we would do the same. I like to think that because we know Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we too would stop and help because of compassion. Maybe we need to re-read the story in His Word and examine our own lives, cause I know someone out there will stop and help us all because of compassion but will we?! peace, tom
