Luke 10:25-37
Amplified Bible (AMP)
25 And a certain lawyer [an expert in Mosaic Law] stood up to test Him, saying, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 Jesus said to him, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?”27 And he replied, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”28 Jesus said to him, “You have answered correctly; do this habitually and you will live.”29 But he, wishing to justify and vindicate himself, asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
Parable of the Good Samaritan
30 Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he encountered robbers, who stripped him of his clothes [and belongings], beat him, and went their way [unconcerned], leaving him half dead. 31 Now by coincidence a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 Likewise a Levite also came down to the place and saw him, and passed by on the other side [of the road].33 But a Samaritan (foreigner), who was traveling, came upon him; and when he saw him, he was deeply moved with compassion [for him], 34 and went to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them [to sooth and disinfect the injuries]; and he put him on his own pack-animal, and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 On the next day he took out two denarii (two days’ wages) and gave them to the innkeeper, and said, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I return.’36 Which of these three do you think proved himself a neighbor to the man who encountered the robbers?” 37 He answered, “The one who showed compassion and mercy to him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and constantly do the same.”

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, the power of Christ daily 22nd of September 2015 titled your neighbor. Your neighbor is a very important thing. Every one of God’s words is important for our well being brothers and sisters.
00:17 Yesterday God dealt with us regarding loving our neighbor as yourself and tortoise posting needless deaths. People die. People just post, post, post, post and they killing people off without even realizing.
00:33 Some people are dying because they are affected by it. It is also very very timely post posting posting because thoughtless posting. That is why this question of examining ourselves is extremely important.
00:48 Brothers and sisters, 2nd Corinthians 13:5 please go and read this thing 2nd Corinthians 13:5 as you keep meditating 2nd Corinthians 13, verse 5 on examining and testing and evaluating yourself. Testing and proving yourself. Testing that and then
first Corinthians 8:2 if you think you know something, you do not know yet as you ought to know, do not know, do not yet know anything.
01:18 He says. First Corinthians 8:2 says those who think they know something do not yet know anything as they should as they ought to know these two important scriptures Keep remembering, thinking, thinking because you want to please Jesus Christ. You
need to do this.
01:34 Examine yourself, test yourself against everything you are doing against the word of God. Measuring against the word of God and 1st Corinthians 8:2 is knowing every time you think or know every time your heart and mind thinks it knows. Remembering 1
Corinthians 8:2 that you do not know anything as you ought to know as yet that you do not know anything as you should.
01:59 Now today the thing is your neighbor very critical because God says you do this. That means love your neighbour as yourself. After loving God of course, then you will live continuously.
02:13 We do this now. James 4, verse 6. James 4:6 I’m reading from the Catholic edition, but it gives all the more grace.
02:23 Therefore it says God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. God is opposing the proud. You know, God didn’t say he opposes the proud except those who are Christians.
02:39 If you’re a Christian, you won’t be proud. First, isn’t it? You examine yourself. You are all the time proud, proud.
02:44 Your heart and mind is proud. Your heart and mind. Remember when we say you remember you are a spirit being and the Spirit of God has given life and Christ is in you.
02:55 So we are not talking about you you. We are talking about your heart and mind. My heart and mind.
03:00 They are proud. They’re proud. So when they’re proud we begin to deal with it, step by step.
03:06 When they want to be proud, immediately hammer them down in the name of Jesus Christ. By the blood of Jesus Christ we can control them. We can bring renew our mind to be humble and our heart will change and be humble.
03:21 But off and on they will try to rise up again. So when they take when we say you, we are talking not about you, you, the spirit. Being a spirit man, we are talking about your heart and mind.
03:32 When I think I am proud, that means my heart and mind story. I am a spirit being. God has given me life and Jesus is in me.
03:41 Christ is in me. Now Christ has to be formed in my heart and mind. So let’s remember that God opposes the proud.
03:48 Anyone with a heart, mind, God opposes the proud, gives grace to the humble. Now these are the three scriptures, very important. First, examine ourselves, test ourselves, evaluate ourselves, test and prove yourself so that we are not considered
counterfeits.
04:04 The Second Corinthians 13:5 First Cons 8:2. If anyone thinks it knows something, you do not know anything as you ought to know as yet. That’s 1 Corinthians 8:2 5 First Corinthians 8:2 Second Corinthians 13:5 First Corinthians 8:2 Important now here
James 4:6 God opposes the proud and gives grace to the humble.
04:31 Brothers and sisters, today, yesterday, what happened now? A friend of mine is in the icu, the Subang Jaya Medical Center. So I had to go there and he’s an old friend of mine. I’m talking about decades.
04:44 You know, when we started business, we all knew together. We grew up together in the business. We are not classmates in the business.
04:52 And it’s an icu. And yes, yes, my heart goes out to him. My heart goes out to him.
05:01 And we are asking for mercy from Christ that he will recover completely and be the salt and light you ought to be. I’ve been witnessing to him for decades and he has known me for 20 years. From the time I was born again, he knew I’ve been witnessing
him for 20 years.
05:17 Off and on, off and on, off and on. He’d seen my life change, so he’ll come and talk to me sometimes. But he has not really made a decision to follow Christ yet.
05:26 And we are praying that he will come out of this merciful God will give him life and he will begin to see what I see. 2. What happened later? By the time I went there and came back and all that, there were several hours and we were talking about
walking in the parking somewhere and walking in the Face this temperature all came back thank Jesus Christ of Nazareth, give thanks in all things.
05:49 So I give thanks in all things even though temperature running now rampage running yesterday and lungs became bad when you came back coughing like crazy. Give thanks in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth because my husband of my soul told give
thanks in all things, all things said about 4, 5 o’clock it was very bad, you know, incessant coughing and this and that. And I’m just waiting on the Lord and obviously I’m taking some herbs or whatever.
06:14 Then I thank be to God later recount because what happened later I have to go to the Kampung Tungku crematorium in Petranjaya because my classmate had passed away the day before. My classmate has passed away the day before and he, you know this from
Lakka Francis Institution and he leaves alone and the friends had tetare with him that morning until 11:30, I think. And then later on they find that later they’re calling him and he’s not answering, so they go, then they break the door and all
that.
06:58 He’s passed away on the bank. So some of my classmates were here, we met together and of course the family members are there. It’s a sad occasion for us because I know him well.
07:11 In fact, we used to. When I moved school to high school, he was another high school in Malacca. I moved to my father transferred to Ipoh St Michael’s Institution.
07:22 I was there and after high school he had come on holiday and stayed with us there. Albert E. You come A very good friend of mine now brothers and sisters.
07:33 That is why the pastor was talking was giving the sermon yesterday. He said life is but so short in time. But God says life is like a vapor.
07:45 Life is like a vapor. That’s why we should not assume things like this, that everything is fine. We have to humble ourselves.
07:53 And now, yes, now we are going on into the who is your neighbor? Neighbour? Now you see, God has said that in Luke 10, 25:27Amplified Bible. You have answered correctly that love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength and love your
neighbour as yourself. And Jesus had them.
08:08 You have answered correctly. Do this habitually and you will live. But the question is, who is our neighbor? Who is our neighbour? Who is our neighbour? Is it just because people staying beside my house, they are my neighbours? People staying on the
right hand side, left hand side, behind me, forward, whatever.
08:33 Are they my neighbours? Or is it only Christians are our neighbors? No, this is answered by Jesus himself in the parable of the Good Samaritan in the parable of Good Samaritan. The story is too long to read for this segment. It’s about robbers who
have hammered a man, stripped him of his clothes and beat him up.
08:56 And they stole everything from him. And they went on this from Jerusalem to Jericho. This man was going.
09:02 And then later a priest came by and when he saw, he passed by on the other side, it went to the other side and passed by. Because the Israelite priests, when they’re going to do service in the temple, they cannot touch blood and all that. They
cannot be clean.
09:18 So they. They didn’t want to go to silent touch. So this man is suffering there.
09:23 So the. But the priest left him and went off because he has to go for service. That’s what he’s believing.
09:27 That’s what he’s belief. And then likewise, Ali White, there’s also priestly class of people came down to place and saw him pass by on the other side also. But a Samaritan, a foreigner.
09:41 Samaritan means foreigner, non Israelite, non Jew, who was traveling, came upon him. When he saw him, he was deeply moved, deeply moved with compassion. This is a key.
09:53 Moved with compassion and went to him and bandaged up his wound, pouring oil and wine on them to soothe and disinfect the injuries. This is good, important news for us to know that we can pour olive oil and wine, or any good oil, coconut oil and
wine into the or we can also use alcohol to clean the wound. You know, hospital, they use alcohol to clean wounds.
10:15 You can do both of these to disinfect the injuries. And he put on his back own pack animal and brought him to an inn like a hotel and took care of him. And on the next day he took the money and gave the innkeeper and said, take care of him, take
care of him.
10:35 Whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I can’t return. This is a stranger, a Samaritan, a foreigner, non Jew, non Israelite, doing this. And therefore, which of these Jesus is asking Our Lord and Master, the husband of my soul is asking this
question.
10:52 Which of these three do you think proved himself a neighbour to the man who encountered the robbers? 37 this is parable of Good Samaritan. 37 the one who showed compassion and mercy to him. Then Jesus said to him, the man answered that, the people
answered, the one who showed compassion and mercy to him.
11:08 Then Jesus said to him, go and constantly do the same. So therefore our neighbour is anybody we come in contact with. Anybody we come in contact with.
11:27 Let’s say we are In a car park and somebody is already about to get into the car park and then you try to rush in there because of important meeting you have and then your boss is going to shout at you or something, you cut in. You are breaking this
law. You are breaking God’s law.
11:46 You should let that fellow go. Then what about my job? What about my boss? Have faith in Christ to see you through. This is why Christ came.
11:55 To give us faith in him to see him through. We depend on his faith, on Christ’s faith that raised him up. Have faith in Christ to see him through.
12:04 So what about to love your neighbour as yourself? If you were there already there will you cut through? And two, you will go another level. If you are children of the most high God. God says to be sons of the most high God.
12:19 You will love your enemies even so. Therefore, even if you arrived there earlier, just fractions of moments earlier, and the other fellow came and he wanted the curtain, let him have it, let him have it. Why? Because your God, the maker of the
universe is inside you.
12:40 Christ is in you. He always see you through. And this great benefit in overcoming our own heart and mind, telling us stories and doing what we need to do.
12:53 That is why when every day. Start with examining, start with humbleness. Start with knowing that we do not know anything as yet.
13:06 Start with that and then you begin to settle why. Let us say now you better, brothers and sisters, those of you are breaking this law for some time. Put a list of what you have done.
13:17 This is examining time. Put a list using God’s word in these three scriptures. Humble, not doing anything as yet to know.
13:29 Examining yourself and then thinking of loving your neighbor as yourself constantly. Put a list where? Where? Who? Who you come in contact with. Let’s just take the one week or two weeks.
13:34 Put a list what you’ve done that breaks this law of God. And then wherever possible, ask for forgiveness. Call them and settle that wherever possible.
13:53 If you cannot, not possible. You confess to God. Lord, I’m sorry Lord.
13:57 I did this, I did that. I’ve broken the second highest commandment. Love your neighbor as yourself.
14:05 I’m sorry, Lord. He will forgive you, brother. He will forgive you, sister.
14:10 He will wash away you one more time. Wash away all the sins away one more time. Because he loves us.
14:16 He loves us. How many times I have continued telling this this way and that way until he enters your he loves us. He cares for you.
14:25 He loves you. He will do all things for you if you only let him. If you only let him.
14:31 Put a list Brother and sister, this is a doing time. If you don’t want to put a list wherever you offended your neighbour, wherever you could have actually the neighbor also may not know. Wherever you have broken the law.
14:43 For instance, if the Samaritan just walked by, the injured person won’t know. But God will know. You will know.
14:50 Let’s say I walked by and left fellow was injured that side and I walked the other side and go off. Then what happens? I will know, the injured person will know. Therefore, brothers and sisters.
15:03 But now, of course, we have conscience now, isn’t it? Because there are people who are pretending to be injured and suddenly rob you and all that. So because of that, what you do, you will call the police when you’re passing by. You think you go by
led by the Spirit of God.
15:17 The Spirit of God will tell you, don’t be suspicious of this or whatever. Be led by the Spirit. As many as are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
15:28 You call the police, call the ambulance or go to the next immediate place, next safe place to make all these arrangements. You can do something now. Put a list.
15:40 If you are serious in following Christ, you are examining yourself today. You put a list of where you could have broken this commandment of God. Second highest commandment of Jesus Christ.
15:52 Love your neighbour as yourself. Put that and begin to settle things with the neighbors, with God, with yourself. Don’t start going.
16:00 I’ll go. I declare the name of Jesus Christ. I declare the name of Jesus Christ.
16:03 I spread the gospel. No, no. God said these two highest commandments.
16:06 First, love your God Almighty with all the with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. Two, love your neighbor, yourself. This must do.
16:14 First, do first this and then you can also cast out in the name of Jesus Christ. Cast out every spirit of fear and confusion. Get out.
16:21 In the name of Jesus Christ. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
