Luke 10:31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
In the story three different attitudes are displayed, and they are of great interest now, especially as our fellowmen in Ukraine are under fire. The priest who was supposed to be the most spiritual of the three, did not even stop to take a look, and by his inaction he manifested that he had no interest whatsoever in the misfortune or welfare of his fellowmen.
If one’s religion produces stoical unconcern for the wellbeing of others, it most likely does not originate with God, for we’ll read in the scriptures where true Christianity would always move us to spend, and be spent for the eternal good of others.
True Christianity is not only about studying all the great laws, principles, and doctrines of the Bible; it includes actually putting them into practice in our interaction with our fellowmen, or else religion will become a hands-off, theological farce that would be ultimately centered on rites and ceremonies.
James 2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well. 9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
