Are you a Good Samaritan? The Good Samaritan came to the rescue of a traveller, beaten and left for dead. The Samaritan performed first aid, took the man to safety, cared for him and paid the bills for his care.
The Good Samaritan is a story that Jesus told. It is why so many church organisations venture into charitable works, and Mackay Street Chaplaincy is one in this model, as is The Faith in Action Coffee & Op Shop, based at Holy Trinity Parish Hall. The story reminds people that God gave us life. Human life is sacred, so we value life and affirm the dignity of every human as loved and precious to God.
Sometimes we need a little help and sometimes we need rescue. God is our Good Samaritan always waiting for us to call out to him. We then go in his name and “Pay it forward,” we can be his hands and feet and help each other.
Psalm 139 tells us God knew us before we were born, and He knit us together in our mother’s womb. WE are so precious and loved by God. Therefore, God requires us to protect life. If we treat our lives, and the lives of others as God’s precious gift, can you imagine the healing impact on our world?
