Luke 10:25-37
What prevents us from having new
relationships created?
On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus.
“Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” ____________________________
“What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you
read it?”
He answered: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your ____________________________
heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with
all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’’” Human love can be described as:
“You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this
and you will live.”
____________________________
But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And
who is my neighbor?”
In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from ____________________________
Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers.
They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away,
___________________________________
leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the
same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other
side. So too a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him,
passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled,
came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on God’s love can be described as:
him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil
and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to ___________________________________
an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two silver
coins and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said,
‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense ___________________________________
you may have.’
“Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the ___________________________________
man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy
on him.”
Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
