Preaching on the Good Samaritan Preaching on the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:34-35 - And he came and bound up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he set him on his horse and took him to an inn and cared for him;And on the morrow he departed, and took two pence, and gave them to the innkeeper, and said unto him: Take care of him, and whatever else you spend I will pay you back when I return Development "A Samaritan who was on his way passed by him, and when he saw him, he took pity on him." The parable of the Good Samaritan is much more than a simple story - it is a profound portrayal of God's mercy through Jesus Christ. The law couldn't save the wounded man, the religious (like the priest and the Levite) couldn't help him. But Jesus, who came from eternity, entered human time to rescue us. He saw our pain, our suffering and our spiritual condition on the brink of eternal death. Jesus took pity on us! He didn't just look from afar, he came down to us. The Samaritan represents Jesus, who, although divine, identified with our humanity and our weaknesses. He became like us in order to save us. Just as the Samaritan stopped to help the wounded man, Jesus interrupted His heavenly glory to come and meet us. "And he came and dressed their wounds, applying oil and wine" The Samaritan treated the man's wounds with oil and wine - powerful symbols of Christ's work in our lives. The wine represents the blood of Jesus shed on the cross to heal our spiritual wounds. Without Christ's sacrifice, there would be no forgiveness for our sins. The oil symbolizes the Holy Spirit, who was sent to free us from the infection caused by sin. He is the one who brings healing, restoration and joy to the wounded heart. The man on the road was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, moving further and further away from God. He was half-dead, wounded and without hope. But Jesus, the Good Samaritan, intervened to save him. Just as the Samaritan took care of the man's physical wounds, Jesus takes care of the wounds of the soul. He takes away the pain, guilt and burden of sin, bringing us new life. "Putting it on the animal itself" When the Samaritan put the wounded man on his own horse, he took on the weight of that life. In the same way, Jesus took upon himself the weight of our sins. He carried our cross so that we could be free. This image reminds us that Jesus doesn't just offer temporary help, but is totally committed to us. He carries us when we are too weak to walk alone. He sustains us on our journey back home to God. "Took him to an inn" The Samaritan took the wounded man to an inn where he could be cared for and regain his strength. In Christian life, this inn represents the Church. The Church is the place where the wounded are welcomed, loved and restored by the power of the Holy Spirit. The more the Church receives and cares for the wounded, the richer it becomes spiritually. The church is not only a place of worship, but also a spiritual hospital, where people are healed and prepared for eternity. A stay in church is a time of preparation for our true home - the eternal presence of God. "Take care of this man" God has entrusted the Church with the responsibility of caring for the wounded that Jesus brought. We are called to help those who have been rescued by the love of Christ. We must talk about the Savior who brought them out of spiritual death, who paid all their debts and who left the Holy Spirit to guide and sustain them. The two denarii given by the Samaritan to the host represent the provision of the Holy Spirit, who never leaves us orphans. God promises to supply all the needs of those who serve others in His name. Conclusion of Luke 10:34-35 "And if you overspend, I will compensate you when I return" Jesus left an extraordinary promise: whatever we spend extra on will be rewarded abundantly when he returns. If you have dedicated your life to helping the wounded - whether by praying, evangelizing, teaching or serving in the church - know that God has already provided your reward. Everything we sacrifice in this life will be calculated and returned with eternal interest. The more we invest in the Kingdom of God, the more we will receive in eternal life. The young person who gives up their weekends to serve in the church, the worker who dedicates their rest time to prayer, the teenager who chooses to obey the Holy Spirit instead of following the pleasures of the world - all will be richly rewarded. When Jesus returns, he will bring with him the greatest compensation: eternal life, salvation, a home in heaven and a glorified body. We live in expectation of that return, knowing that he, who has taken such good care of our wounds, will also take care of our final reward. Praise the Lord! Amen. "Jesus, the Good Samaritan, came to save us and prepare us for eternity."
