A man named Jairus had come and asked Jesus to help him save his twelve year old daughter who was dying, but on the way to the man’s house, a woman who suffered from hemorrhage for twelve years touched Jesus’ clothes and her condition was healed. Jesus felt his power being sucked so he asked the crowd who had touched him but Peter (one of the disciples) told that anyone from the crowd could have just bumped into him. The woman was scared but still admitted what she has done and was forgiven for being honest. But then they find out that Jairus’ daughter was dead, Jesus still thought the girl was alive but everyone denied it. He then makes the girl rise up.

    As Jesus spoke to the Samaritan woman he met at the well in Sychar, which was next to the field that Jacob gave to Joseph, he desired to do more than to just demonstrate the intellectual superiority of the Jewish position over the Samaritans.(This statement assures us that it is not our place to Judge others. It was a known fact that the Jewish people did not lower themselves to speak to the Samaritan people, but Jesus did.) He wished to give a new life to this woman. By Hebrew time reckoning, the sixth hour would be noon and Jesus would be exhausted from walking. (This is one of the few places where Jesus shows normal human frailty.) When the woman asked how he was to draw water from the well, when he had no bucket or rope, and if he felt he was more powerful than Father Jacob who gave them the well, Jesus answered her by watering her with his Word and telling her that he who drinketh this water will again become thirsty but those who drink the water I offer will have a Well of…

    An example of this can be seen in one of the more poignant moments in the film Bonhoeffer: Agent of Grace. Towards the end of the film, while Bonhoeffer is incarcerated in Nazi prison, Bonhoeffer communicates with a distraught man one cell over who knows he is likely to be executed in the near future. Bonhoeffer consoles the man, and prays with him through cell walls, despite the man stating his atheism to Bonheoffer. While the man is later executed, the Nazi officer does inform Bonhoeffer that the now executed man was one of the more peaceful prisoners the guards had ever reported killing . In this simple act, we see the effect Bonhoeffer had on others, and see the value committed Christians can find in their community. Even though Bonhoeffer did not know the man, or have any tangible connection to him, through his teachings and faith, Bonhoeffer was able to offer the man comfort and solace despite the precarious situation the man was in. Bonhoeffer viewed the man as just another of God’s creations, and correctly assumed that he was as deserving of peace as any other human. Additionally, by reaching out to a fellow human, even one who did not profess faith in Jesus Christ, Bonhoeffer was able to offer the comfort and spirit of God and Christ to a human in desperate need of such comforts. Bonhoeffer. This was no small theme in Bonhoeffer’s life, with his brother in law writing that, “what marked [Bonhoeffer] most was his unselfishness and preparedness to help others up to the point of self sacrifice.” If a disciple of Jesus Christ sees someone else in need, they should willingly and without hesitation help them in any way they can, regardless of their connection to that person. We humans are made in God’s image, and should be treated, as a whole, as the visual embodiment of God himself. Given…

    The passage of Luke 10:25-36 is an essential story because it applies to every Christian today the same way, but in order for us to follow the example Jesus made, we must first understand what the story would have meant to the Jews in Jesus’ time. The first step in understanding the story of the Good Samaritan is to understand the relationship between the Jews and the Samaritans of the time. The Samaritans were considered unclean by the Jews, because they saw the Samaritans as a corruption of God’s chosen people, therefore the Jews were not supposed to make contact with the Samaritans whatsoever. Not only were the Samaritans considered unclean, the Jews would have seen them as hostile to themselves. The conflict began around the time when the Northern Kingdom was captured by the Assyrians. The Jews had been deported, and they began to intermarry with people from other cultures and religions. The people who the Jews were married to, began to worship the Jews’ God, but they would not give up their idols so the other Jews tried to force them to be divorced, and when they wouldn’t, they took on the name of Samaritans. With this known, the parable of the Good Samaritan can be understood a little better.…

    Later that day, a Jewish priest and a Levite walked by and ignored the Jew as if they had not seen him. However a Samaritan, a race hated by Jews, bandaged the man’s wounds, put him on his donkey, took him to an inn, and since the Jew was robbed of all his money, the Samaritan paid the innkeeper to care for him until he was well. Jesus tells this story because of how compelling the meaning is. The implication is this; God calls us to love our neighbor as ourselves. Who is our neighbor? Everyone is our neighbor and we must not discriminate because of his or her…

    Over the course of history, many things have come and gone. Throughout these changes, some aspects of life have remained constant. Conflict is a persistent feature that has caused strife in the past, present, and will likely continue in the future. Within these contentious events, opposing sides often label each other the “enemy.” As history shows, these situations are likely to occur in an individual’s life; therefore it’s important to know how one should handle one’s self in such an event. Luke attempts to address this quandary in his passage, “Love of Enemies” (Luke 6:27-36). Here, he conveys the idea that when dealing with opposition and enemies, individuals shouldn’t let the oppressor’s degrading actions shape our values, but rather act in accordance of the principles of merciful love that Luke states God exemplifies. This message is evident in the history leading up to the passage, when God acts mercifully towards Israelites who questioned his ways, in the text of the passage, when Luke depicts Jesus’ commands in his disputation speech as part of the Sermon on the Plain, and in our world today as wisdom for ethical living.…

    The story commences when a lawyer tests Jesus by asking, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”. This was an attempt to get Jesus to reply in a way that would get him in trouble with the religious and political authorities. Jesus responded, "What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?” The lawyer answered his question, quoting Deuteronomy 6:4, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbour as yourself." This reply seems unusual as it is depicted that the lawyer would quote something in regards to a set of rules. Jesus replied, “You have answered correctly; do this and you will live." The lawyer’s intention was to stump Jesus, but Jesus replied in such an effortlessly answer that the lawyer seeked to justify himself and continued, “And who is my neighbour?” Instead of responding with an answer or a question, Jesus told the well-known parable of the Good Samaritan. "A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho; and he fell among robbers, and they…

    On The Level of Astonishment: In the parable of The Good Samaritan, the Levite and the priest were surprised by the event they encountered before them but since they had a prior commitment and being a responsible member of an institution, they were unavailable to entertain the man. The traveler however did not have any institution to answer to which makes him available for the man in need. Through the encounter, the traveler became present to the man. His behavior is his natural character because he’s doing such an act without an institution being a catalyst. The Last Judgment on the other hand unveils the prophecy regarding the encounter of the Samaritan with the man. It is astonishing for the Samaritan to know the meaning of his simple, compassionate act. The Samaritan symbolizes the great acts of humans and encounter Christ in a way. Through this the message “Go and do likewise” is made known.…
