A Good Samaritan

Are you afraid of the safety of perfect strangers? Are you changing someone's view of life by being a good Samaritan? understood. On Thursday night, I was called a "knob" in a very bad place in the town. I used to stay at a friend's house when I decided to leave to find a place to eat. Along the way, my friend got a phone call from his mother telling him he had to go home. His house really did not disturb her. When I walked down to Belle Avenue and walked to his house, another one of my friends shouted. "Hi, I pulled the girl and beat that girl." I quickly questioned this silly accusation.

The idea behind Jesus's "Good Samaritan Fables" is often misunderstood. "Good Samaritans" are widely used to show kind strangers, but helping others is not the topic of the topic - dealing with people with different immigrants, religions and cultures as outsiders It is a foolish thing. Worse For those unaccustomed to this metaphor, it tells the story of the abandoned person who is deprived on the highway. Pastors and the Levites - they all enjoyed a high position in the Jewish community - passed through and caused him to bleed from the groove. Then the Samaritans cleaned up the man's wound, took him to the camel and took him to a nearby bed and breakfast, where the Samaritan paid for his room, And the metaphor is over.

One of Jesus' most powerful metaphor is a good Samaritan parable (Luke 10). Most people today think that being a good summary is a good quality. It will help those who are injured and suffering. Of course this is a wonderful quality. But the power of this metaphor is that Jesus used Samaritan as a model of good neighbors to answer questions of Jewish theologians. "Who is my neighbor?" Model to react correctly to others. From the perspective of the Jews of the first century, it can not object to any further objection. Jesus challenged the racial differences of his era once more

Jesus' answer is in the form of a good allegory of Samaritans. This is a man who is half dead on the street and the person who comes to help him is the one with the least relationship with him. The priests and the Levites passed by, but the Samaritans stopped seeking help. At the personal level, we look after ourselves. Except for some unrealistic theories in moral philosophy, no one believes this to be immoral or unfair discrimination. The circle we are interested in comes from a wider family, friends, community, our country, etc. (Even in circles of interest we often have personal connections, for example Catholics may donate to Catholic overseas aid charitable organizations. In this sense, we are interested People are interested in stakeholders and there is no point.
