Experts

Today’s reading: Luke 10:13-37

“But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, 'Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.'”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭10:33-35‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Jesus prays in vs 21-24 that He was thankful that God didn’t reveal truth to the experts but to the childlike.

Yet in vs 25-37 He interacts with an expert and ends up telling him one of the most profound parables ever told.

There was no one that Jesus was unwilling to interact with, even the experts who mostly wanted Him dead and out of the picture.

Also, I pray today that the compassion that I feel for others would flow into acts of grace and generosity, like the Samaritan.

May showing mercy become a reflex reaction for us all.

🤲
