1170 Words5 Pages

FIND THE UNIT
Luke 10: 25-37 is part of the gospels in the new testament of the Holy Bible, it is also known as The Parable of the Good Samaritan. This parable is still told today in the 21st century, even though the significance is lost today. The Good Samaritan is an example of an exemplary story that illustrate a general principle of being a good neighbor to everyone in order to love God and be loved by God.

I believe the message of the text is not restricted to a particular time and place, but it is universal for all time. Anyone can make it mean anything.

It addresses contemporary issues of tension between people of difference social, religious, economic, or racial barriers. Today we are separated by these issues similarly to the man and the Samaritan. The parable cites Leviticus 19: 18 and it says, “... you shall love your neighbor as yourself.” That is something people today should take in consideration. This text does influence my values or behaviors. I do not believe that it has changed me, but reinforces my values or behaviors. I like to believe that everyone is good in the world and that we as humans should help each other out because we only have each other. The one thing I resist is that often times it is difficult to help out an enemy, but it is the right thing to do. In this passage, what is often overlooked is the values and behaviors of acting in love without preference or partiality and expecting nothing in return (Craddock

Jesus repeatedly warned His disciples to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, the Sadducees, and of the Herodians. In using the word “leaven”, Jesus is essentially warning His disciples to beware of the corrupted teachings and doctrines of these leadership groups. Despite the teachings and doctrines of the Pharisees and Sadducees being quite different, and the Herodians being more of a political party, these leadership groups were all united in opposing the claims of Jesus. This essay intends to expound upon what exactly the teachings and doctrines of these groups were.
