Luke, x.25-37. Golden text—"“Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.”—Levit~ icus, xix.18. ‘Jesus tfirned away from Galilee and faced the cross when He entered upon His Perean ministry. The force of the opposition, that had revealed its bitter- ness in the closing months of His work in Galilee, disappeared when He en- tered Perea. The fruits of the mis- sionary efforts of the 70 were seen in the attitude of the people. Christ's popularity during His early days in Galilee was repeated. The multitude followed Him wherever He went. They were attracted by His miracles of heal- ing. His preaching gripped the masses as He journeyed through Perea. The date.of His ministry in this closing pe- riod of His efforts to obtain a favorable decision from His countrymen is not sufficient for “us to follow Him step by step. We find Him on the borders of Samaria, in Perea, on the banks of the Jordan, in Bethany, in the village of Ephraim,” during these finaljmonths of His public ministry. Not only were the people aroused by the missionary work of the 70, but the religious leaders recognized that they could not be indifferent to His presence in their communities. Any religious movement among the people was sure to excite the attention of the Pharisees and scribes, who exercised religious leadership throughout the na- tion. We have seen in our lessons how these conservative, clean-living and cul- tured men rejected His claims and did everything in their power to overcome His influence and claims. They did not approve of His humble birth. The men whom He selected as His apostles were not chosen from the trained or- thodox teachers of religion. Christ's as- sociation with publicans and sinners did not appeal to them. He had clashed with their views. “He did not Himself practice, nor encourage His disciples to practice, many ritual observances, such as fasts, punctilious washing of the hands before meals and so forth, which “they considered to be the marks of a religious man.” They clashed over the Sabbath. They took advantage of every opportunity to turn the attention of the people against Him. Ecelesiastical Opposition. One of the probably numerous ef- forts made to weaken Uhmt'lrplllll’ grip upon the multitude is found in the opening part of our lesson when “a cer- tain lawyer stood up and tempted” the Lord. Probably Jesus had been preach- ing about “eternal life,” when He was interrupted by a scribe, who was well versed in the law. He sought to test the Master's views by a vital question, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” TFollowing a method that He used frequently of making indi- viduals answer their own questions, Jesus compelled the lawyer to answer his own question by asking him, “How readest thou?” Our Lord by His ques- tion put the scribe in a difficult posi- tion. He did not ask for the man's judgment, but requested Mim to state what the Scriptures said. He replied apparently without hesitation, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy mind, and thy neighbor as thyself.” Christ's approval of the concise sum- mary of the ancient Jewish scriptural requirements touched the man’s con- science, for he tried to raise another question by asking “Who is my neigh- bor?” He reccgnized that the Master put him in an embarrassing situa- tion, and he wanted to set himself right before the crowd and quiet his can- sclence. Men frequently try to evade y doing their duty by raising issues and | projecting into debate some controver- sial question. Jesus sllenced the ecclesi- astical opposition of the lawyer by tell- ing the matchless parable of the good Samaritan. Evidently Jesus believed that the scribe could love both God and his neighbor, for Christ met him on his own id. The lawyer found himself beaten by the very method and means that he had sought to use In an effort to enthral the Master. Jesus had forced the local teacher of the Scriptures to recognize that a representative of a despised race had surpassed the priest and the Levite in fulfiiling the require- ments of the law as a neighbor. The lawyer, not Jesus, had been forced to teach what he had never expected to proclaim because he was evidently hon- est. He recognized the force of the parable’s message. He did not hesitate to state it when pressed by the Master. Good Samaritan Parable. Prohlbly no other parable has mold- ed the thinking of men more than the one selectece for our lesson. It was probably based upon a historic incident. One traveling today down from Jerusa- lem to Jericho passes the Fountain of Robbers and sees an inn known today as the Good Samaritan Inn. Jesus did not tell the race of the man who fell among thieves, was robbed, wounded and left half dead upon the ground. This may explain the attitude of the priest and Levite. They may have con- sidered that the man was not one of of being a neighbor was bounded by their nation and faith. Although there is the possibility that they did not wish to defile themselves by touching the foreigner, men have considered that the Master represented the flku as being lacking in love and the Levite as being selfish. Christ sets forth the kindness of a certain Samaritan, & member of a despised race, In contrast with the inhuman brutality and selfishness of (hre‘ btewo religious representatives of the Sotibe. < The Samaritan was probably a well known traveling salesman whose sym- pathy with the unfortunate man caused im to delay his trip, postpone his busi- ness and minister unto him. He prob- lbl:{ used the wine to help revive him and cleanse the wounds. He poured oil upon his wounds to soothe them, and them. bound them up to hasten their healing. He placed the suffering man upon his beast and took the place of a servant, hold! the wounded one upon. the animal and walking beside him un- til they reached the inn. There he paid for the man's lodging and became security for any additional expense that might be needed. When Jesus asked which of the three was a neigh- bor, He had turned the tables complete- i1y upon the seribe. The lawyer frankly acknowledged that it was the one who had showed mercy. He did not say the Samaritan; that m have been too much. His heart been touched by the Master's teaching. 3 Jesus by this parable enla: men's conception of “neighbor” until it passes all racial barriers of reciprocity and takes in all who need without regard their faith, race or national connec- tions.
