Title/ The neighbor of the robber
Text/ Luke 10:30-37
The reason I met the robber ▶ It was because I left Jerusalem (church) alone and went down to Jericho (the world).
Appearance of a robber ▶ They were all taken away, beaten to the point of death and thrown away. (The poorest life, the one beaten and abandoned)
What the man who was struck by the robber must recover ▶ In Jerusalem, worship, hymns and prayers must be found again.
The first humans, Adam and Eve, also “lost Eden” through disobedience, resulting in death, toil, and suffering.
I hope that you will not be abandoned by robbers when you go alone, but be with the Lord and become a person of blessing to be embraced in God's arms.
Today, we will look at who the neighbor of the robber is and receive grace.
1, Law-centered priest verse 31
“The priest” was the first person to see the miserable face of the man who was hit by a robber.
A priest is a person who teaches and keeps the law.
Then why did he just pass by?
(Romans 3:20) “By the works of the law no flesh is justified before him; by the law there is the knowledge of sin.”
If the robber shows his sinful nature and his transgressions, it must be a Christian, a priest and a saint, to cover and cover him.
(Mark 11:25) “Forgive anyone against any accusation, and your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions.”
2, Leviticus 32 centered on ritual and formal
It is the work of the “Levites” who are in charge of maintaining the temple and helping with the worship service.
(Numbers 1:47-54) "The Levites...let them take care of the tabernacle of Zeger and all its accessories, and they shall carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings, and serve there, and encamp around the tabernacle."
As I was in charge of the church life, I consciously changed it.
(Matthew 23:27-28) “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! They are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inside are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. full of hypocrisy and iniquity.”
The dirtier the inside, the more colorfully decorated the outside.
The Levites perform the rites, but because there is no content (Jesus) in them, they just pass by when they see a person who has fallen and is covered in blood.
3, the merciful Samaritan verses 33-35
The “Samaritan” riding the beast did not appear to have been idle.
However, if you don't just pass by ▶ take pity ▶ go near them ▶ bundle up ▶ take care of them ▶ pay money and see that they will finish it on the way back, you are a responsible person
He was a foreigner regardless of his family, status, or current position, but he did what God's people were supposed to do.
(James 2:15-17) “Faith without works is dead in itself.”
Today, the Korean church members must resemble the Samaritans (Jesus), and the church, like an inn, is a place of rest and healing, so that they can receive treatment and start anew.
The Lord asks us today as he asks the lawyer.
Who of the three will be the neighbor of the robber? ▶Be like a Samaritan ▶ Amen
