Who Is My Neighbor?

“Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?”

... and love your neighbor as yourself. 

The man wanted to justify his actions, 

so he asked Jesus, “And WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR? 

... Then a despised Samaritan came along, 

and when he SAW the man, he felt COMPASSION for him. 

GOING OVER to him, the Samaritan SOOTHED HIS WOUNDS 

with OLIVE OIL and WINE and BANDAGED them. 

Then he put the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn, 

where he TOOK CARE OF HIM. 

The next day he handed the innkeeper two silver coins, telling him, 

‘Take care of this man. If his bill runs higher than this, 

I’LL PAY you the next time I’m here.

Now which of these three would you say was a NEIGHBOR 

to the man who was attacked by bandits?” Jesus asked.

The man replied, “THE ONE WHO SHOWED HIM MERCY.” 

Then Jesus said, “Yes, now go and do the same.” 

Luke 10:27-29, 33-37 NLT

---

Jesus is my Neighbor. 

He saw me, felt compassion for me,

came to me and healed me. 

He was crushed (like olives and grapes)

for my healing and forgiveness.

He placed me in Himself, and in the church, 

so that I'd be taken care of. 

Yes, He is the One Who showed me mercy.

What to do to inherit eternal life? 

Love Him by letting Him love and save you. 

It's A New Day Of Grace

A prophesy about the coming Savior, a few months before He was born:

---

“Through the tender mercy of our God, 

With which the Dayspring from on high has visited us; 

To give light to those who sit in darkness 

and the shadow of death, 

To guide our feet into the way of peace.”

Luke 1:78-79 NKJV

---

Are you SITTING in any kind of darkness and hopelessness? 

I declare to you, ARISE and shine, because your Light 

- the Light of the world - has come. 

It's a new Day of Grace. 

We are called out of darkness into His marvelous light. (1 Pet 2:9) 

Because of His TENDER MERCY towards you and me.

My Shepherd

My Shepherd

“The LORD is my shepherd; 

I shall not want. 

He makes me to lie down in green pastures; 

He leads me beside the still waters. 

He restores my soul; 

He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. 

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, 

I will fear no evil; 

For You are with me; 

Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. 

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; 

You anoint my head with oil; 

My cup runs over. 

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me 

All the days of my life; 

And I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever.”

Psalms 23:1-6 NKJV
