Next comes Gracie.....

Love one another
My name is Gracie Roach and I want to tell you the story of the Good Samaritan.
In Luke Chapter 10 vs. 29-37 A lawyer asked Jesus:
And who is my neighbour?
And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and what so ever thou spendeth more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbor unto him that fell among the thieves?
And he said, He that showed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
The priest and the Levite should have helped the wounded man. But they did not because they were selfish. We should be like the Samaritan. We should help anyone in need because then we will feel the spirit.
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen
