The subject. “Jesus Teaches Nelrh-
’borllness,” chosen by the lesson com-
mittee, deals only with one side of the
question; namely, man’s duty to his'
fellow men; whereas, his first duty la
to God.
I., How to Inherit Eternal Life
(vv 25-28).
1, The lawyer’s question (v. 25).
The term “lawyer” here means “one
Terse;! in religious law. the Scrip-
tures,” not “lawyer” In our modern
•ense of that term. It more nearly
corresponds to our theological 'prp-
fessor. The lawyer’s object was to
trip Jesus,' to Induce him to take such
• stand as would weaken his Influence
as a teacher.
2. Jesus’ question (v. 26). “What
Is written !n the law?” He sent him
to the law, the field which wasi fa-
miliar to him. Jesus thus robbed him
of his own weapon. Though Jesti#
knew the motive of the lawyer, he did
oot evade his question.
8. The lawyer's reply (v. 27). He
made an intelligent answer, declaring
that the entire content of the law was
embraced in love to God atul man.
■4. Jesus’reply (v. 28). The straight-'
forward answer went to the heart of
the lawyer. Perfect love to God and
man is truly the way of life. No man
has yet had or can have such love.
Bis sinful condition precludes its pos-
sibility. The lawyer keenly felt this
‘thrust. He was defeated on his own
grounds and, therefore, convicted of
{ullt
< II. “Who Is My Neighbor?” (vv
29-37).
1. The lawyer’s question (v. 29).
'‘Who Is my neighbor?” This question
reveals the Insincerity of the lawyer.
Christ’s answer had reached his con-
science and now he seeks to escape the
difficulty by asking a captious question.
2. Jesus’ answer (vv. 30-37).
.Jesus’ reply more than answered the
’ lawyer’s question. In the parable of
-the Good Samaritan he makes clear
Is a nelg’ bor, and also what It
mean to be a neighbor am) what lov-
ing s neighbor means. Christ’s an-
swer bad a double meaning. He not
made clear “Who Is my neighbor,”
it also that the lawyer was not play-
ing the neighbor.
j s. This destitute and wounded man,
left on the waysitte by the robbers. Is
D man who needs a neighbor. My
'neighbor, therefore. Is the one wh>
needs my help, whether lie lives next
jdoof, or on the oilier side of the
world. Love does not regard locality.

nationality, or blood relation. Those
Who have the spirit of Christ can see
wf Its actions,
calculation of
their neighbors on every hand,
j b. What being a neighbor means.
Our supreme consideration should not
be, “Who is my neighbor?" but “Whose
.neighbor am I?" To be a neighbor is
i (1). To be on the lookout lor those
In need of help (v. 33). Love is al-
'ways on a journey. It is keen to dis-
cern the needs of those with whom
It Is brought Into contact.
<2). To have compassion on the
(v. 33). Christ’s compassion was
as he came Into contact with
who were suffering and iu need,
who are Cbrlstllke will be like-
moved.
f). To. give to those In need (v.
i). Lore does not calculate the cost'
Whenever there Is the
cost there is the ex-
pression of selfishness. Many are will-
ing to give money to help the poor and
needy, but are unwilling personally
to minister to them. Many times the
personal touch is more important than
the material aid.
(4). To bind up wounds. If we have
'Ayes to discern we shall see many
ids about us that need attention.
To set the helpless ones on our
while we walk (v. 84). This is
vie proof of the genuineness of our
[lore. Those who are like Christ will
*— themselves In order to have
thing to give to tho£e In need.
(6). To bring to the Inn and take
ire of the unfortunate (r. 34). Gen-
__lore does not leave Its service
'incomplete. Much Christian service
?ls partial, leaving the man to take
pare of himself.
1 (7). To give money (v. 33). It costs
’a good deal to he a neighbor. Love Is
1<be most expensive thing Id the world
It cost God hIn only Son; It cost Jesus
Christ bis life.
Trust Institutions
Our Citizens should map out an aggressive
program for the on-going of our Community
u w
/
We can, with very little cost, beautify our
homes. We can plant flowers and shrubs
by the roads and replace unsightly spots with
places of beauty.
