Introduction
Pastor arrives as a homeless man
Would we have turned the other way?
Would we have ignored this man?
Calling of the Pastor
There is an ever growing number of people buying gifts for themselves “From: me, To: me.”
How would you have responded?
Our love for God is shown by our willingness to extend mercy to our neighbors.
We called to fully love God and our neighbors.

Think about how you care for yourself?
It is said that love from the heart responds with the hands (v.
28)
Thus, the lawyer’s love for God should cause him to love all because man was created in the image of God.
Two imperative
How do care for yourself?
We are called to see beyond appearances.
(Vv 29-33)
Why ask this question?
look rather foolish
Marshall Howard says this, “You have no need to answer that question, as a laywer you know the answer about Eternal life.
Darrell Bock says this about the Lawyer...”He wanted to justify his failures to love some people.”
(v.29)

Are we as Christ followers willing to reach out our hands to help someone of another race, socio-economic status, or religion?
Therefore, we must look beyond how others may see someone

The church must become the neighbor of the community
Christ centeredness leads to other centeredness
