LOVE FOR GOD AND LOVE FOR
MAN
LESSON TEXT-Luke 10:25-37.
GOLDEN TEXT-Thou shall love the Lord
thy God with all thy heart, and with all
thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself.—
Luke 10:27.
“What shall I do?” The question
of the lawyer in our lesson is a
query which is on the lips or in the
minds of millions of men and wom
; en each day. They want to do right
; and want to be right, but their
lives lack the direction which only
faith in God can give them.
Never does the question go more
deeply than when it concerns man’i
eternal welfare, as it does in our
lesson. Always that question in
dicates that man is not able to de
cide for himself, and needs the guid
ance of someone greater and wiser
than he. This should lead us back
to God, for only He can fully answer
it.
The story of the Good Samaritan
tell us what we must do to show our
love for God and man, and gives a
demonstration of how it is to be
done. ,
I. What to Do (vv. 25-28).
The lawyer (a student of the law
of Moses, and hence a theologian
rather than an attorney) was pos
ing a question to try to entrap Jesus.
He was apparently not much con
cerned about eternal life and as
sumed that it could be obtained by
doing something.
We know that eternal life is a gift
(John 1:12; Rom. 6:23), but if the
man wanted to have it by doing,
Jesus was ready to meet him. In
response to Jesus’ question (v. 26),
the lawyer gave Him what the Jews
regarded as the summary of the
i whole law.
The man who can perfectly keep
that law will have eternal life, de
clares Jesus. But note that you must
do it, not just talk about it. And
you must keep the whole law, “for
whosoever shall keep the whole law,
and yet stumble in one point, he is
become guilty of all” James 2:10,
R.V.; see also Gal. 3:10).
Observe that the commandment,
go highly commended by our Lord,
concerns a true love for God which
shows in an active love for one’s
fellowman.
Love is the only thing that can
save our bruised and bleeding
world. How sad it is that in such
«n hour of need there is so little
said in the church about love and
it is practiced even less. It is the
forgotten fundamental of all the
fundamentals of faith! Let us begin
to preach it and practice it!
11. How to Do It (vv. 29-37).
It is one thing to realize that one
ought to do a thing; it is quite an
other thing to do it. Here we have
what may have been an actual inci
dent given by our Lord as an object
lesson of the right and the wrong >
attitude toward a fellowman in
need.
1. The Wrong Attitude (vv. 29-32).
The lawyer’s effort to justify him
self by diverting attention to the
word “neighbor,” which he felt
needed definition, showed that he
could not do the thing expected of
him.
The reason for man’s failure lies
primarily in his own weakness
and inability to do what God re
quires, but is also revealed in his
pitiable and futile efforts to justify
himself.
The one who seeing his sinfulness
and his utter inability to keep God's
law casts himself on the Lord is
ready to receive the gift of eternal
life. But the one who tries to defend
his position and justify himself has
shut the door on God’s grace and
mercy (see Luke 18:9-14).
The parable of the Good Samar
itan answers fully and finally the
question, “Who is my neighbor?”
by making it clear that anyone
| who is in need, regardless of race,
social position, condition or re
ligion, is our neighbor.
The priest and the Levite doubt
less had plenty of excuses for not
helping the wounded man, but let us
remember that excuses, while they
may count with men, mean only our
condemnation in the presence of
God.
2. The Right Spirit.
It was the spirit of Christ that
made the Samaritan show a com
passionate and sacrificial interest in
the needy man. Only Christ can
make you and me like that. His
love in the heart is the only “good
neighbor program” that will ever
work.
Statesmen, philosophers yes,
•nd the man in the street —of our
day are looking hither and yon
for an answer to the world’s need.
They all sense that we must have
something great, and tender, and
powerful to unite the hearts of men,
or we shall soon be in conflict
again. The next time we may well
write civilization off the globe. What
is the answer? Love! First, a real
love for God, then love for our
fellowmen of all nations. The answer
to the world's awful problem is c
revival of Christian faith; without
it we perish.
