Luke 10:25-37 - We don't so much worry about ritual purity anymore, but are in a hurry, and often we say we do not have the time to help people in need that we meet along the way. It's easier to write a check to a charity, or help starving refugees we see on television, then it is to actually take the time and help those we physically come across.
lyrics
Refrain
Who is my neighbor? Who do I have to care for?
Please tell me teacher, who can I just ignore?
A man was on a bus to Jericho
When he stopped to buy some cigarettes
Some young men asked him, “buddy, need a light?”
They took his wallet and beat him half to death
Refrain
He lay there bleeding while the people walked
Around and looked away
A few said “somebody should help this man
Not me, I’m busy, I cannot today.”
Refrain
So who do you suppose helped this man
Took the time and tended to his wounds?
Was it a pastor, priest or samaritan?
Or was it someone just like you?
Who’ll be a neighbor? Who do you find to care for?
The need’s in front of you, right there, you can’t ignore.
Go be a neighbor, go and show love and mercy,
So says the teacher, who called us all to be.
