"What shall I do to inherit eternal life Master?"
Jesus said,'Do as the law says,you will live',
Love God above all,love as yourself your neighbour,
The law so goes but who is my neighbour to believe.
Certain man was going from Jerusalem to Jericho,
He fell among robbers,they stripped laid him aside,
They beat and departed leaving him half dead Lo!
A Priest,a Levite looking cold went to the other side.
A Samaritan alone showed much pity on the victim,
Took the injured on his donkey,admitted him in an inn,
Soothed wounds with oil and wine ,bandaged him,
Paid two Dinarii,promised to pay any more on return.
Good Samaritan of course utmost kindness did bestow,
As a Good Neighbour,on hypocrisy dealt a death blow.
Footnote:
Luke:10:30-37
Jerusalem to Jericho was a road so dangerous,it was called a
bloody pass and a place of robbers' delight.The Priest and Levite
represent the religious elite with full of arrogance and hypocrisy,
Jesus Christ teaches them a good lesson with an outcast good
Samaritan,exposed the jews' numbness to the then prevailing
society
