Meditation:
Luke 10:29 – He, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
Explanation:
In one movie the man search for his friends in the King’s army in the Sudan. In his quest, the man got lost and was near death in the vast deserts of Africa. Then, as his life was ebbing away, he was rescued by an African, who cared for him.
Stunned by the man’s kindness to a stranger, he asked why his new friend had done so much for him. African man response was direct: “God put you in my way”
In the parable of the Good Samaritan, a priest and a religious scholar, whose calling was to help the downtrodden, ignored the need of a fallen traveler who had been left to die on the Jericho Road. A hated Samaritan, however, gave his time and resources to help the hurting man, displaying Christ’s compassion. He bandaged his wounds, brought him to an inn, and took care of him (Luke 10:34). The ravaged mad had been put in the way of all three travelers, but only the Samaritan responded.
As we move through life, we are challenged to respond to the needs of people. We will either show them Christ’s love or be indifferent. How will we respond to those God chooses to put in our way?
Lord, I need Your help even to see the needs of people around me and then to know how to cure for them. Give me a heart of compassion like Yours and opportunities to express Your love.
“Compassion never goes out of fashion…”
Sa buhay ng tao sa panahon ngayon marahil ilan na lang talaga ang makikita natin ang may ganitong ugali, ugali na ating natunghayan sa itaas. Sapagkat ngayon ang tao ay takot ng tumulong, umalalay sa ibang tao, bakit? Sapagkat ang iba ay nadadala na sa mga nakaraang karanasan na sila’y niluluko, pinagnanakawan ng mga taong kanilang tinulungan. Subalit ano ang sinasabi sa Galacian 6:10 – samantalahin natin ang lahat ng pagkakataon sa paggawa ng mabuti sa ating kapwa, lalo na sa mga kapatid sa pananampalataya. Dito sinasabi na mga kapatid pero sa itaas yung lahat ng nakapaligid sa atin na nangangailangan ng tulong.
At heto ang maganda nito sa Galacia 6:9 – Kaya’t huwag tayong magsawa sa paggawa ng mabuti; pagdating ng takdang panahon tayo ay mag-aani kung hindi tayo magsasawa.
