Day 17 - Monday
Bible Verses: Luke 10:25-37
Spark Bible: The Good Samaritan (p.360)
Devotion: In the Parable of the Good Samaritan Jesus not only describes how one should treat his neighbor, he also provides an example of who a neighbor might be. In his example the neighbor was a stranger to the Good Samaritan.
We spent some time talking about how Jesus wants us to treat other people, even people we don’t know. Sometimes it can be difficult to determine how to safely help someone we don’t know. We know we should treat them like a neighbor, but we also want to make sure we are keeping ourselves safe. This is especially important when children are concerned.
Reflection: Think about the people you have interacted with today. How did you treat them? Are there people that you could have treated more like a neighbor? Even people you don’t know?
Prayer: Dear God, please help me to be like the Good Samaritan and treat people the way you want me to treat them. Amen.
