Hagee Ministries | Matt Hagee - Love Thy Neighbor (Part 2) | August 10, 2025
- Music
- 00:00:00.094 --> 00:00:13.874
- Pastor matt hagee: in luke 10,
- 00:00:15.409 --> 00:00:16.811
- Pastor matt hagee: in luke 10, we're at the point of scripture
- 00:00:16.877 --> 00:00:18.813
- We're at the point of scripture that we recall the parable
- 00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:20.948
- That we recall the parable of the good samaritan.
- 00:00:21.015 --> 00:00:23.317
- Of the good samaritan. and whenever you come
- 00:00:23.384 --> 00:00:23.918
- And whenever you come to a parable,
- 00:00:23.984 --> 00:00:24.852
- To a parable, what you need
- 00:00:24.919 --> 00:00:25.352
- What you need to realize is that you
- 00:00:25.419 --> 00:00:26.520
- To realize is that you are walking a parallel road.
- 00:00:26.587 --> 00:00:29.423
- Are walking a parallel road. they're going the same
- 00:00:29.490 --> 00:00:30.224
- They're going the same direction but they're different.
- 00:00:30.291 --> 00:00:32.560
- Direction but they're different. the first road that you walk on
- 00:00:32.626 --> 00:00:34.061
- The first road that you walk on when you read a parable
- 00:00:34.128 --> 00:00:35.229
- When you read a parable is the obvious message
- 00:00:35.296 --> 00:00:36.764
- Is the obvious message that's presented in the text,
- 00:00:36.831 --> 00:00:39.400
- That's presented in the text, "who is my neighbor?"
- 00:00:39.467 --> 00:00:40.468
- "who is my neighbor?" jesus engages in a story that
- 00:00:40.534 --> 00:00:42.603
- Jesus engages in a story that many of us are familiar with.
- 00:00:42.670 --> 00:00:44.605
- Many of us are familiar with. but the second road
- 00:00:44.672 --> 00:00:45.573
- But the second road that you're walking,
- 00:00:45.639 --> 00:00:46.373
- That you're walking, going in the same direction
- 00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:47.708
- Going in the same direction but different is an eternal
- 00:00:47.775 --> 00:00:49.877
- But different is an eternal truth that is about
- 00:00:49.944 --> 00:00:51.545
- Truth that is about the kingdom of god.
- 00:00:51.612 --> 00:00:54.281
- The kingdom of god. the text begins,
- 00:00:54.348 --> 00:00:56.183
- The text begins, "and a certain lawyer stood up
- 00:00:56.250 --> 00:00:58.586
- "and a certain lawyer stood up and tested him."
- 00:00:58.652 --> 00:01:00.788
- And tested him." you and i,
- 00:01:00.855 --> 00:01:01.522
- You and i, having the benefit
- 00:01:01.589 --> 00:01:02.123
- Having the benefit of the doubt,
- 00:01:02.189 --> 00:01:03.057
- Of the doubt, looking back instead
- 00:01:03.124 --> 00:01:04.158
- Looking back instead of being in the moment,
- 00:01:04.225 --> 00:01:06.026
- Of being in the moment, we immediately think,
- 00:01:06.093 --> 00:01:06.994
- We immediately think, "are you serious?
- 00:01:07.061 --> 00:01:08.896
- "are you serious? i mean, a human with finite
- 00:01:08.963 --> 00:01:11.398
- I mean, a human with finite knowledge is going to test
- 00:01:11.465 --> 00:01:14.135
- Knowledge is going to test infinite wisdom?
- 00:01:14.201 --> 00:01:15.936
- Infinite wisdom? this guy has the nerve
- 00:01:16.003 --> 00:01:17.238
- This guy has the nerve to try and trip up the son
- 00:01:17.304 --> 00:01:18.806
- To try and trip up the son of the living god?
- 00:01:18.873 --> 00:01:19.874
- Of the living god? the mortal is challenging
- 00:01:19.940 --> 00:01:21.509
- The mortal is challenging the immortal?
- 00:01:21.575 --> 00:01:23.644
- The immortal? who does he think he is?"
- 00:01:23.711 --> 00:01:26.147
- Who does he think he is?" and he comes to christ
- 00:01:26.213 --> 00:01:27.114
- And he comes to christ and he says,
- 00:01:27.181 --> 00:01:27.681
- And he says, "i have a question for you.
- 00:01:27.748 --> 00:01:29.016
- "i have a question for you. how do i inherit eternal life?"
- 00:01:29.083 --> 00:01:32.119
- How do i inherit eternal life?" jesus gives him a very
- 00:01:32.186 --> 00:01:33.921
- Jesus gives him a very straight and solid answer.
- 00:01:33.988 --> 00:01:36.190
- Straight and solid answer. "you're a lawyer,
- 00:01:36.257 --> 00:01:37.224
- "you're a lawyer, you figure it out."
- 00:01:37.291 --> 00:01:40.227
- You figure it out." so, the attorney quotes
- 00:01:40.294 --> 00:01:41.695
- So, the attorney quotes the same verse that we read
- 00:01:41.762 --> 00:01:43.130
- The same verse that we read last week out of deuteronomy,
- 00:01:43.197 --> 00:01:45.132
- Last week out of deuteronomy, "love the lord your god
- 00:01:45.199 --> 00:01:46.066
- "love the lord your god with all of your heart,
- 00:01:46.133 --> 00:01:46.767
- With all of your heart, with all of your soul,
- 00:01:46.834 --> 00:01:47.468
- With all of your soul, with all of your strength,
- 00:01:47.535 --> 00:01:48.202
- With all of your strength, and with all of your mind,
- 00:01:48.269 --> 00:01:49.436
- And with all of your mind, and your neighbor as yourself."
- 00:01:49.503 --> 00:01:51.639
- And your neighbor as yourself." jesus says,
- 00:01:51.705 --> 00:01:52.239
- Jesus says, "you've got the answer.
- 00:01:52.306 --> 00:01:54.241
- "you've got the answer. do that and you'll have
- 00:01:54.308 --> 00:01:55.543
- Do that and you'll have what you want."
- 00:01:55.609 --> 00:01:57.578
- What you want." but have you ever met
- 00:01:57.645 --> 00:01:58.379
- But have you ever met somebody that asks a question
- 00:01:58.445 --> 00:02:00.414
- Somebody that asks a question and they really
- 00:02:00.481 --> 00:02:00.981
- And they really don't want information?
- 00:02:01.048 --> 00:02:02.416
- Don't want information? when they ask a question,
- 00:02:02.483 --> 00:02:03.617
- When they ask a question, what they really want
- 00:02:03.684 --> 00:02:04.518
- What they really want is an argument?
- 00:02:04.585 --> 00:02:08.756
- Is an argument? jesus says,
- 00:02:08.822 --> 00:02:09.290
- Jesus says, "love your neighbor
- 00:02:09.356 --> 00:02:09.924
- "love your neighbor as yourself.
- 00:02:09.990 --> 00:02:10.691
- As yourself. do this and you'll inherit
- 00:02:10.758 --> 00:02:12.026
- Do this and you'll inherit eternal life."
- 00:02:12.092 --> 00:02:12.726
- Eternal life." and the lawyer says,
- 00:02:12.793 --> 00:02:13.727
- And the lawyer says, "yeah, but who
- 00:02:13.794 --> 00:02:15.896
- "yeah, but who is my neighbor?"
- 00:02:15.963 --> 00:02:18.065
- Is my neighbor?" he wants to say that
- 00:02:18.132 --> 00:02:18.966
- He wants to say that the word of god is not clear.
- 00:02:19.033 --> 00:02:21.969
- The word of god is not clear. that it's confusing.
- 00:02:22.036 --> 00:02:23.137
- That it's confusing. that it didn't define clearly
- 00:02:23.204 --> 00:02:25.573
- That it didn't define clearly who the neighbor was.
- 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:26.707
- Who the neighbor was. because if he
- 00:02:26.774 --> 00:02:27.474
- Because if he had a clear definition,
- 00:02:27.541 --> 00:02:28.842
- Had a clear definition, if maybe he got a gps google pin
- 00:02:28.909 --> 00:02:32.146
- If maybe he got a gps google pin dropped right on
- 00:02:32.213 --> 00:02:32.880
- Dropped right on the guy's house,
- 00:02:32.947 --> 00:02:33.714
- The guy's house, then he could go over
- 00:02:33.781 --> 00:02:34.481
- Then he could go over there and love his neighbor.
- 00:02:34.548 --> 00:02:35.749
- There and love his neighbor. but until this neighbor was
- 00:02:35.816 --> 00:02:36.951
- But until this neighbor was clearly identified, you can't
- 00:02:37.017 --> 00:02:38.452
- Clearly identified, you can't expect me to keep
- 00:02:38.519 --> 00:02:39.620
- Expect me to keep such vague language.
- 00:02:39.687 --> 00:02:42.723
- Such vague language. and jesus uses the story of
- 00:02:42.790 --> 00:02:44.425
- And jesus uses the story of the good samaritan to explain
- 00:02:44.491 --> 00:02:46.093
- The good samaritan to explain exactly who your neighbor is,
- 00:02:46.160 --> 00:02:49.396
- Exactly who your neighbor is, and he reminds us
- 00:02:49.463 --> 00:02:50.698
- And he reminds us of this very simple truth,
- 00:02:50.764 --> 00:02:52.666
- Of this very simple truth, that righteousness is not
- 00:02:52.733 --> 00:02:53.934
- That righteousness is not something that's on
- 00:02:54.001 --> 00:02:54.668
- Something that's on the outside of you,
- 00:02:54.735 --> 00:02:55.703
- The outside of you, righteousness is someone
- 00:02:55.769 --> 00:02:57.037
- Righteousness is someone who's on the inside of you.
- 00:02:57.104 --> 00:02:59.974
- Who's on the inside of you. so, jesus begins the parable
- 00:03:00.040 --> 00:03:01.208
- So, jesus begins the parable of the good samaritan,
- 00:03:01.275 --> 00:03:02.243
- Of the good samaritan, and in it, he tells us
- 00:03:02.309 --> 00:03:04.044
- And in it, he tells us of three types of people.
- 00:03:04.111 --> 00:03:05.879
- Of three types of people. he tells us about
- 00:03:05.946 --> 00:03:06.880
- He tells us about a wounded person.
- 00:03:06.947 --> 00:03:08.916
- A wounded person. and you need to know that
- 00:03:08.983 --> 00:03:09.783
- And you need to know that in this life,
- 00:03:09.850 --> 00:03:10.584
- In this life, at some point or another,
- 00:03:10.651 --> 00:03:11.585
- At some point or another, you will be wounded.
- 00:03:11.652 --> 00:03:13.887
- You will be wounded. and then he tells us
- 00:03:13.954 --> 00:03:14.722
- And then he tells us about wicked people.
- 00:03:14.788 --> 00:03:17.992
- About wicked people. and what you don't ever want
- 00:03:18.058 --> 00:03:18.859
- And what you don't ever want to be in this life is a wicked
- 00:03:18.926 --> 00:03:20.060
- To be in this life is a wicked person because the bible is very
- 00:03:20.127 --> 00:03:22.596
- Person because the bible is very clear that the hand of god never
- 00:03:22.663 --> 00:03:24.999
- Clear that the hand of god never leaves the house of the wicked.
- 00:03:25.065 --> 00:03:28.068
- Leaves the house of the wicked. he's always against them.
- 00:03:28.135 --> 00:03:30.638
- He's always against them. and then he finishes by telling
- 00:03:30.704 --> 00:03:31.839
- And then he finishes by telling us about a worthy person.
- 00:03:31.905 --> 00:03:35.342
- Us about a worthy person. and the first lesson that
- 00:03:35.409 --> 00:03:36.744
- And the first lesson that we learn in this parable
- 00:03:36.810 --> 00:03:38.646
- We learn in this parable is that you should watch
- 00:03:38.712 --> 00:03:40.014
- Is that you should watch where you're going.
- 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:42.449
- Where you're going. jesus tells about a certain man
- 00:03:42.516 --> 00:03:44.918
- Jesus tells about a certain man who went down from jerusalem
- 00:03:44.985 --> 00:03:46.787
- Who went down from jerusalem to jericho and he fell
- 00:03:46.854 --> 00:03:48.489
- To jericho and he fell among thieves.
- 00:03:48.555 --> 00:03:50.024
- Among thieves. the thieves stripped him
- 00:03:50.090 --> 00:03:50.891
- The thieves stripped him of his clothing,
- 00:03:50.958 --> 00:03:51.558
- Of his clothing, and they wounded him,
- 00:03:51.625 --> 00:03:52.660
- And they wounded him, and they departed
- 00:03:52.726 --> 00:03:54.028
- And they departed leaving him half dead.
- 00:03:54.094 --> 00:03:57.031
- Leaving him half dead. other than the detail
- 00:03:57.097 --> 00:03:57.865
- Other than the detail that he's a man,
- 00:03:57.931 --> 00:03:58.666
- That he's a man, we don't know much about him.
- 00:03:58.732 --> 00:03:59.733
- We don't know much about him. we don't know his
- 00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:00.467
- We don't know his economic status,
- 00:04:00.534 --> 00:04:01.268
- Economic status, we don't his educational level,
- 00:04:01.335 --> 00:04:03.037
- We don't his educational level, we don't know if he's married,
- 00:04:03.103 --> 00:04:03.904
- We don't know if he's married, if he's single.
- 00:04:03.971 --> 00:04:05.506
- If he's single. we don't know many
- 00:04:05.572 --> 00:04:06.273
- We don't know many of these things.
- 00:04:06.340 --> 00:04:07.474
- Of these things. and the reason that
- 00:04:07.541 --> 00:04:08.108
- And the reason that i don't believe we know them
- 00:04:08.175 --> 00:04:09.243
- I don't believe we know them is because jesus wanted
- 00:04:09.310 --> 00:04:10.377
- Is because jesus wanted each and every person
- 00:04:10.444 --> 00:04:11.845
- Each and every person not to identify with
- 00:04:11.912 --> 00:04:12.946
- Not to identify with the character
- 00:04:13.013 --> 00:04:13.747
- The character but to understand that
- 00:04:13.814 --> 00:04:14.748
- But to understand that as an individual,
- 00:04:14.815 --> 00:04:15.916
- As an individual, you should watch
- 00:04:15.983 --> 00:04:17.217
- You should watch where you're going.
- 00:04:17.284 --> 00:04:20.354
- Where you're going. when jesus tells us that he
- 00:04:20.421 --> 00:04:22.122
- When jesus tells us that he goes from jerusalem to jericho,
- 00:04:22.189 --> 00:04:24.291
- Goes from jerusalem to jericho, he's talking about
- 00:04:24.358 --> 00:04:25.492
- He's talking about a descending journey.
- 00:04:25.559 --> 00:04:27.027
- A descending journey. this man is going down.
- 00:04:27.094 --> 00:04:29.029
- This man is going down. he's going the wrong direction.
- 00:04:29.096 --> 00:04:32.366
- He's going the wrong direction. he's going down geographically.
- 00:04:32.433 --> 00:04:35.235
- He's going down geographically. let's just talk about
- 00:04:35.302 --> 00:04:35.936
- Let's just talk about it on the map.
- 00:04:36.003 --> 00:04:37.438
- It on the map. when you're in
- 00:04:37.504 --> 00:04:38.205
- When you're in the city of jerusalem,
- 00:04:38.272 --> 00:04:39.340
- The city of jerusalem, you are 2,300 feet
- 00:04:39.406 --> 00:04:40.874
- You are 2,300 feet above sea level.
- 00:04:40.941 --> 00:04:43.477
- Above sea level. if you go from jerusalem
- 00:04:43.544 --> 00:04:44.978
- If you go from jerusalem to jericho,
- 00:04:45.045 --> 00:04:46.413
- To jericho, it is a short
- 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:46.947
- It is a short 20-mile distance,
- 00:04:47.014 --> 00:04:49.516
- 20-mile distance, but every step from jerusalem
- 00:04:49.583 --> 00:04:51.251
- But every step from jerusalem to jericho is a step down
- 00:04:51.318 --> 00:04:53.654
- To jericho is a step down because when you get to jericho,
- 00:04:53.721 --> 00:04:55.322
- Because when you get to jericho, you are in one
- 00:04:55.389 --> 00:04:56.223
- You are in one of the lowest cities
- 00:04:56.290 --> 00:04:57.291
- Of the lowest cities on the face of the earth.
- 00:04:57.358 --> 00:04:58.492
- On the face of the earth. you are 1,300 feet
- 00:04:58.559 --> 00:05:00.494
- You are 1,300 feet below sea level.
- 00:05:00.561 --> 00:05:02.396
- Below sea level. so, you go from 2,600 feet up
- 00:05:02.463 --> 00:05:04.932
- So, you go from 2,600 feet up to 1,300 feet below.
- 00:05:04.998 --> 00:05:06.333
- To 1,300 feet below. there's a fall of 3,600 feet
- 00:05:06.400 --> 00:05:09.436
- There's a fall of 3,600 feet between jerusalem and jericho.
- 00:05:09.503 --> 00:05:11.839
- Between jerusalem and jericho. not only is he physically
- 00:05:11.905 --> 00:05:13.574
- Not only is he physically going down,
- 00:05:13.640 --> 00:05:14.241
- Going down, but he's spiritually going down.
- 00:05:14.308 --> 00:05:15.976
- But he's spiritually going down. why?
- 00:05:16.043 --> 00:05:16.677
- Why? because jerusalem
- 00:05:16.744 --> 00:05:17.778
- Because jerusalem is the city of god
- 00:05:17.845 --> 00:05:19.079
- Is the city of god and jericho is the city
- 00:05:19.146 --> 00:05:20.848
- And jericho is the city of a conquered enemy.
- 00:05:20.914 --> 00:05:22.616

- Jerusalem is where his house is. when david said,
- 00:05:27.688 --> 00:05:28.389
- When david said, "i was glad when they said
- 00:05:28.455 --> 00:05:29.656
- "i was glad when they said unto me let us go into
- 00:05:29.723 --> 00:05:30.457
- Unto me let us go into the house of the lord,"
- 00:05:30.524 --> 00:05:32.493
- The house of the lord," he was talking about jerusalem.

- To march around the walls of jerusalem and say
- 00:05:38.132 --> 00:05:39.867
- The walls of jerusalem and say to the next generation,
- 00:05:39.933 --> 00:05:41.235
- To the next generation, "god lives here."
- 00:05:41.301 --> 00:05:43.437
- "god lives here." he was giving us the command
- 00:05:43.504 --> 00:05:44.671
- He was giving us the command to tell young people
- 00:05:44.738 --> 00:05:46.440
- To tell young people that jerusalem is the place
- 00:05:46.507 --> 00:05:48.108
- That jerusalem is the place where god's presence is.
- 00:05:48.175 --> 00:05:49.476
- Where god's presence is. jerusalem is the place
- 00:05:49.543 --> 00:05:50.677
- Jerusalem is the place where god's best is.
- 00:05:50.744 --> 00:05:52.246
- Where god's best is. jerusalem is the place where
- 00:05:52.312 --> 00:05:53.614
- Jerusalem is the place where you receive all of his promises.
- 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:55.849
- You receive all of his promises. and when you walk away from god,
- 00:05:55.916 --> 00:05:57.751
- And when you walk away from god, and when you walk away
- 00:05:57.818 --> 00:05:58.819
- And when you walk away from his promises,
- 00:05:58.886 --> 00:05:59.787
- From his promises, and when you walk away
- 00:05:59.853 --> 00:06:00.721
- And when you walk away from his refuge,
- 00:06:00.788 --> 00:06:01.622
- From his refuge, you are going
- 00:06:01.688 --> 00:06:03.223
- You are going the wrong direction.
- 00:06:03.290 --> 00:06:08.028
- The wrong direction. we meet the wounded.
- 00:06:08.095 --> 00:06:11.832
- We meet the wounded. and the circumstances that
- 00:06:11.899 --> 00:06:12.900
- And the circumstances that they were in was at the hands
- 00:06:12.966 --> 00:06:14.535

- For the bible says he fell among thieves.
- 00:06:19.006 --> 00:06:22.009
- He fell among thieves. thieves are easy to identify
- 00:06:22.075 --> 00:06:24.044
- Thieves are easy to identify because we can see
- 00:06:24.111 --> 00:06:25.979
- Because we can see their blatant behavior.
- 00:06:26.046 --> 00:06:28.882
- Their blatant behavior. these are
- 00:06:28.949 --> 00:06:29.483

- The ones who knew what they were doing and intended to do harm.
- 00:06:33.153 --> 00:06:36.356
- Doing and intended to do harm. now, i'm not suggesting that any
- 00:06:36.423 --> 00:06:37.591
- Now, i'm not suggesting that any of you would act that way,
- 00:06:37.658 --> 00:06:40.160
- Of you would act that way, but we all know
- 00:06:40.227 --> 00:06:41.261
- But we all know individuals who do.
- 00:06:41.328 --> 00:06:43.831
- Individuals who do. but you have to understand
- 00:06:43.897 --> 00:06:45.032
- But you have to understand that there's different kinds
- 00:06:45.098 --> 00:06:46.033
- That there's different kinds of ways to be a predator.
- 00:06:46.099 --> 00:06:49.636
- Of ways to be a predator. these people waited
- 00:06:49.703 --> 00:06:50.504
- These people waited in the rocks,
- 00:06:50.571 --> 00:06:51.238
- In the rocks, and when they saw
- 00:06:51.305 --> 00:06:51.705
- And when they saw the opportunity,
- 00:06:51.772 --> 00:06:52.539

- And they took his possessions. physically violent.
- 00:06:56.043 --> 00:06:58.712
- Physically violent. but how many of you know
- 00:06:58.779 --> 00:06:59.446
- But how many of you know somebody who can inflict just as
- 00:06:59.513 --> 00:07:01.415
- Somebody who can inflict just as big a wound with their tongue
- 00:07:01.482 --> 00:07:03.750
- Big a wound with their tongue as they can their fists?
- 00:07:03.817 --> 00:07:06.753
- As they can their fists? they're predators just the same.
- 00:07:06.820 --> 00:07:10.123
- They're predators just the same. the second kind of wicked person
- 00:07:10.190 --> 00:07:12.960
- The second kind of wicked person are the individuals we meet next
- 00:07:13.026 --> 00:07:14.461
- Are the individuals we meet next in the story because it tells us
- 00:07:14.528 --> 00:07:16.864
- In the story because it tells us about this man who's lying
- 00:07:16.930 --> 00:07:18.065

- A certain priest came down that road,
- 00:07:22.503 --> 00:07:23.704
- Came down that road, and when he saw him,
- 00:07:23.770 --> 00:07:25.672
- And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
- 00:07:25.739 --> 00:07:29.076
- He passed by on the other side. likewise, a levite when
- 00:07:29.142 --> 00:07:30.410
- Likewise, a levite when he arrived at that place,
- 00:07:30.477 --> 00:07:31.578
- He arrived at that place, he came, and he looked,
- 00:07:31.645 --> 00:07:32.980
- He came, and he looked, and he passed
- 00:07:33.046 --> 00:07:33.647
- And he passed by on the other side."
- 00:07:33.714 --> 00:07:37.384

- And everybody went, "yay." because the hero has arrived.
- 00:07:59.873 --> 00:08:02.376
- Because the hero has arrived. the man who has
- 00:08:02.442 --> 00:08:03.143
- The man who has the answers is here.
- 00:08:03.210 --> 00:08:05.212
- The answers is here. and rather than come and serve
- 00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:07.047
- And rather than come and serve this individual who's fallen
- 00:08:07.114 --> 00:08:08.782
- This individual who's fallen prey to these thieves,
- 00:08:08.849 --> 00:08:11.118
- Prey to these thieves, he pulls out his cell phone.
- 00:08:11.184 --> 00:08:16.790

- 00:08:20.093 --> 00:08:20.627
- And he says, "hashtag bad day."
- 00:08:20.694 --> 00:08:26.833
- "hashtag bad day." and then comes the levite,
- 00:08:26.900 --> 00:08:29.803
- And then comes the levite, another worker in the temple.
- 00:08:29.870 --> 00:08:31.238
- Another worker in the temple. he's not in the role
- 00:08:31.305 --> 00:08:32.172
- He's not in the role of a priest,
- 00:08:32.239 --> 00:08:32.773
- Of a priest, but he's someone who
- 00:08:32.839 --> 00:08:33.507
- But he's someone who serves in the house of god.
- 00:08:33.574 --> 00:08:35.309
- Serves in the house of god. and everybody goes, "oh good."
- 00:08:35.375 --> 00:08:38.312
- And everybody goes, "oh good." but he does the same thing.
- 00:08:38.378 --> 00:08:41.048
- But he does the same thing. he captures the moment,
- 00:08:41.114 --> 00:08:42.416
- He captures the moment, but only from a distance.
- 00:08:42.482 --> 00:08:43.684
- But only from a distance. he doesn't want to get too close
- 00:08:43.750 --> 00:08:44.985
- He doesn't want to get too close and he doesn't want
- 00:08:45.052 --> 00:08:45.619
- And he doesn't want to get too involved.
- 00:08:45.686 --> 00:08:48.255
- To get too involved. and in this, we don't see
- 00:08:48.322 --> 00:08:49.489
- And in this, we don't see the predatory wicked,
- 00:08:49.556 --> 00:08:50.924
- The predatory wicked, but we see the passive wicked.
- 00:08:50.991 --> 00:08:55.295
- But we see the passive wicked. how many people ignore problems
- 00:08:55.362 --> 00:08:57.331
- How many people ignore problems that they could solve,
- 00:08:57.397 --> 00:08:58.365
- That they could solve, and in their passivity,
- 00:08:58.432 --> 00:08:59.633
- And in their passivity, they make the problem worse.
- 00:08:59.700 --> 00:09:03.604
- They make the problem worse. you say, "oh preacher,
- 00:09:03.670 --> 00:09:04.237
- You say, "oh preacher, don't be so hard
- 00:09:04.304 --> 00:09:05.005
- Don't be so hard on these people.
- 00:09:05.072 --> 00:09:06.506
- On these people. the law of moses says that they
- 00:09:06.573 --> 00:09:07.808
- The law of moses says that they couldn't touch a dead man.
- 00:09:07.874 --> 00:09:09.042
- Couldn't touch a dead man. if a priest is on his way
- 00:09:09.109 --> 00:09:10.410
- If a priest is on his way to serve in the temple
- 00:09:10.477 --> 00:09:11.511
- To serve in the temple and he touches a dead man,
- 00:09:11.578 --> 00:09:12.646
- And he touches a dead man, he's going to have to cleanse
- 00:09:12.713 --> 00:09:13.914
- He's going to have to cleanse for seven days."
- 00:09:13.981 --> 00:09:15.315
- For seven days." true, that's in the law.
- 00:09:15.382 --> 00:09:16.850
- True, that's in the law. but better to be a human
- 00:09:16.917 --> 00:09:18.185
- But better to be a human being than to be a law keeper.
- 00:09:18.251 --> 00:09:19.820
- [applause]
- 00:09:21.989 --> 00:09:27.461
- You see,
- 00:09:28.261 --> 00:09:28.795
- You see, everybody has a reason,
- 00:09:28.862 --> 00:09:29.830
- Everybody has a reason, everybody has an excuse,
- 00:09:29.896 --> 00:09:31.398
- Everybody has an excuse, everybody has a piece
- 00:09:31.465 --> 00:09:32.599
- Everybody has a piece of paper where they can run
- 00:09:32.666 --> 00:09:33.767
- Of paper where they can run and hide behind the policy.
- 00:09:33.834 --> 00:09:35.369
- And hide behind the policy. but what do you do when you see
- 00:09:35.435 --> 00:09:36.970
- But what do you do when you see another human in desperate need?
- 00:09:37.037 --> 00:09:40.774
- Another human in desperate need? do you come up with an excuse
- 00:09:40.841 --> 00:09:42.309
- Do you come up with an excuse or do you make good?
- 00:09:42.376 --> 00:09:44.611
- Or do you make good? there's only two kinds
- 00:09:44.678 --> 00:09:45.278
- There's only two kinds of people in this world,
- 00:09:45.345 --> 00:09:46.446
- Of people in this world, those who make good
- 00:09:46.513 --> 00:09:47.781
- Those who make good and those who make excuses.
- 00:09:47.848 --> 00:09:49.483
- And those who make excuses. and what you'll find when
- 00:09:49.549 --> 00:09:50.517
- And what you'll find when it comes to problem solving
- 00:09:50.584 --> 00:09:51.852
- It comes to problem solving is excuses are useless.
- 00:09:51.918 --> 00:09:57.190
- Is excuses are useless. look around you and see how much
- 00:09:57.257 --> 00:09:58.492
- Look around you and see how much passivity has caused wickedness.
- 00:09:58.558 --> 00:10:01.895
- Passivity has caused wickedness. if you want
- 00:10:01.962 --> 00:10:02.362
- If you want to destroy something,
- 00:10:02.429 --> 00:10:03.430
- To destroy something, if you want
- 00:10:03.497 --> 00:10:03.930
- If you want to destroy anything,
- 00:10:03.997 --> 00:10:05.432
- To destroy anything, ignore it.
- 00:10:05.499 --> 00:10:07.801
- Ignore it. a relationship, a marriage,
- 00:10:07.868 --> 00:10:09.870
- A relationship, a marriage, a business, your children,
- 00:10:09.936 --> 00:10:12.706
- A business, your children, your relationship with god,
- 00:10:12.773 --> 00:10:14.608
- Your relationship with god, your family.
- 00:10:14.675 --> 00:10:16.209
- Your family. all of them can
- 00:10:16.276 --> 00:10:16.977
- All of them can be destroyed by neglect.
- 00:10:17.044 --> 00:10:20.714
- Be destroyed by neglect. people see problems
- 00:10:20.781 --> 00:10:21.682
- People see problems and pretend they're not there.
- 00:10:21.748 --> 00:10:23.250
- And pretend they're not there. ignoring them does
- 00:10:23.316 --> 00:10:24.484
- Ignoring them does not make them go away.
- 00:10:24.551 --> 00:10:28.055
- Not make them go away. but when you challenge it,
- 00:10:28.121 --> 00:10:29.389
- But when you challenge it, now you can change it.
- 00:10:29.456 --> 00:10:32.626
- Now you can change it. you say,
- 00:10:32.693 --> 00:10:33.093
- You say, "oh, you don't understand,
- 00:10:33.160 --> 00:10:33.894

- 00:15:43.336 --> 00:15:44.404
- Jesus never called him a good samaritan.
- 00:15:44.471 --> 00:15:46.539
- A good samaritan. we did because
- 00:15:46.606 --> 00:15:47.774
- We did because of the way he behaved.
- 00:15:47.841 --> 00:15:49.776
- Of the way he behaved. jesus just said,
- 00:15:49.843 --> 00:15:50.877
- Jesus just said, "a certain samaritan."
- 00:15:50.944 --> 00:15:52.879
- "a certain samaritan." and i believe the reason
- 00:15:52.946 --> 00:15:54.347
- And i believe the reason he's just a certain samaritan
- 00:15:54.414 --> 00:15:56.082
- He's just a certain samaritan in the story is because god
- 00:15:56.149 --> 00:15:57.617
- In the story is because god wanted you to know you
- 00:15:57.684 --> 00:15:58.785
- Wanted you to know you don't have to be an angel
- 00:15:58.852 --> 00:16:00.120
- Don't have to be an angel to treat others well.

- Every excuse that the priest
- 00:17:56.035 --> 00:17:57.770
- Every excuse that the priest and the levite made,
- 00:17:57.837 --> 00:17:58.838
- And the levite made, the samaritan didn't
- 00:17:58.905 --> 00:17:59.639
- The samaritan didn't even think about it.
- 00:17:59.706 --> 00:18:00.640
- Even think about it. if they were worried
- 00:18:00.707 --> 00:18:01.708
- If they were worried about touching the dead body,
- 00:18:01.774 --> 00:18:02.942
- About touching the dead body, he didn't think about it.
- 00:18:03.009 --> 00:18:04.077
- He didn't think about it. if he was worried about
- 00:18:04.144 --> 00:18:05.111
- If he was worried about the other thieves that
- 00:18:05.178 --> 00:18:06.179
- The other thieves that might be in the area,
- 00:18:06.246 --> 00:18:07.147
- Might be in the area, he didn't think about it.
- 00:18:07.213 --> 00:18:08.281
- He didn't think about it. without any thought for himself,
- 00:18:08.348 --> 00:18:10.150
- Without any thought for himself, he gave what he had
- 00:18:10.216 --> 00:18:11.818
- He gave what he had and he started to heal
- 00:18:11.885 --> 00:18:12.952
- And he started to heal this man's life.
- 00:18:13.019 --> 00:18:15.388
- This man's life. and he takes him to an inn
- 00:18:15.455 --> 00:18:19.159
- And he takes him to an inn and he pays the fee.
- 00:18:19.225 --> 00:18:22.562
- And he pays the fee. it says,
- 00:18:22.629 --> 00:18:23.096
- It says, "on the next day
- 00:18:23.163 --> 00:18:23.696
- "on the next day when he departed,
- 00:18:23.763 --> 00:18:24.564
- When he departed, he took out two denarii
- 00:18:24.631 --> 00:18:26.232
- He took out two denarii and he gave them to
- 00:18:26.299 --> 00:18:27.066
- And he gave them to the inn keeper and he said,
- 00:18:27.133 --> 00:18:28.468
- The inn keeper and he said, 'take care of him.
- 00:18:28.535 --> 00:18:30.470
- 'take care of him. and whatever more you spend,
- 00:18:30.537 --> 00:18:32.238
- And whatever more you spend, when i come again,
- 00:18:32.305 --> 00:18:34.040
- When i come again, i will repay you.'"
- 00:18:34.107 --> 00:18:36.142
- I will repay you.'" now, two denarii was enough
- 00:18:36.209 --> 00:18:39.345
- Now, two denarii was enough for two days of lodging.
- 00:18:39.412 --> 00:18:42.715
- For two days of lodging. and so, the samaritan
- 00:18:42.782 --> 00:18:43.683
- And so, the samaritan was planning on returning
- 00:18:43.750 --> 00:18:45.618
- Was planning on returning on the third day.
- 00:18:45.685 --> 00:18:49.489
- On the third day. so, jesus concludes
- 00:18:49.556 --> 00:18:50.657
- So, jesus concludes by asking the lawyer,
- 00:18:50.723 --> 00:18:52.592
- By asking the lawyer, "so which one of these three,
- 00:18:52.659 --> 00:18:55.562
- "so which one of these three, the priest, the levite,
- 00:18:55.628 --> 00:18:59.532
- The priest, the levite, or the samaritan took
- 00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:02.802
- Or the samaritan took care of his neighbor?"
- 00:19:02.869 --> 00:19:06.406
- Care of his neighbor?" and the lawyer said,
- 00:19:06.472 --> 00:19:07.140
- And the lawyer said, "the one who showed him mercy."
- 00:19:07.207 --> 00:19:10.944
- "the one who showed him mercy." and jesus said,
- 00:19:11.010 --> 00:19:12.779
- And jesus said, "go and do likewise
- 00:19:12.845 --> 00:19:15.848
- "go and do likewise and you'll have eternal life."
- 00:19:15.915 --> 00:19:19.185
- And you'll have eternal life." you see, it's not who you are,
- 00:19:19.252 --> 00:19:21.854
- You see, it's not who you are, it's what you do.
- 00:19:21.921 --> 00:19:24.691
- It's what you do. and it's not just what you do,
- 00:19:24.757 --> 00:19:25.825
- And it's not just what you do, but it's how you do it.
- 00:19:25.892 --> 00:19:28.861
- But it's how you do it. and it's not for the honor
- 00:19:28.928 --> 00:19:30.597
- And it's not for the honor and respect of those
- 00:19:30.663 --> 00:19:31.898
- And respect of those who are around you,
- 00:19:31.965 --> 00:19:33.633
- Who are around you, but it's in obedience to the god
- 00:19:33.700 --> 00:19:35.635
- But it's in obedience to the god who did that for you.
- 00:19:35.702 --> 00:19:36.936
- [applause]
- 00:19:37.637 --> 00:19:43.643
- The samaritan is worthy,
- 00:19:44.711 --> 00:19:46.312
- The samaritan is worthy, not because of where
- 00:19:46.379 --> 00:19:47.547
- Not because of where he came from,
- 00:19:47.614 --> 00:19:48.081
- He came from, the samaritan is worthy
- 00:19:48.147 --> 00:19:49.449
- The samaritan is worthy because of the righteousness
- 00:19:49.515 --> 00:19:50.683
- Because of the righteousness that was in him that
- 00:19:50.750 --> 00:19:51.851
- That was in him that he used to show mercy.
- 00:19:51.918 --> 00:19:54.320
- He used to show mercy. do you see someone in need
- 00:19:54.387 --> 00:19:55.722
- Do you see someone in need and run to figure out
- 00:19:55.788 --> 00:19:56.990
- And run to figure out how you can be a part of help
- 00:19:57.056 --> 00:19:58.524
- How you can be a part of help or do you quickly judge
- 00:19:58.591 --> 00:19:59.993
- Or do you quickly judge and come to a conclusion
- 00:20:00.059 --> 00:20:01.361
- And come to a conclusion that they got
- 00:20:01.427 --> 00:20:01.995
- That they got what they deserved?
- 00:20:02.061 --> 00:20:03.796
- What they deserved? mercy is not getting
- 00:20:03.863 --> 00:20:05.265
- Mercy is not getting what you deserve,
- 00:20:05.331 --> 00:20:06.132
- What you deserve, mercy is receiving
- 00:20:06.199 --> 00:20:07.400
- Mercy is receiving what you don't deserve.
- 00:20:07.467 --> 00:20:09.636
- What you don't deserve. jesus told his disciples,
- 00:20:09.702 --> 00:20:11.070
- Jesus told his disciples, "a new commandment i give you.
- 00:20:11.137 --> 00:20:13.206
- "a new commandment i give you. you love one another
- 00:20:13.273 --> 00:20:14.641
- You love one another as i have loved you."
- 00:20:14.707 --> 00:20:18.311
- As i have loved you." that's written in john 13:34.
- 00:20:18.378 --> 00:20:20.413
- That's written in john 13:34. "you love one another
- 00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:21.748
- "you love one another as i have loved you."
- 00:20:21.814 --> 00:20:23.816
- As i have loved you." how did jesus love you?
- 00:20:23.883 --> 00:20:25.418
- How did jesus love you? he loved you when you were
- 00:20:25.485 --> 00:20:26.786
- He loved you when you were at your lowest and you
- 00:20:26.853 --> 00:20:28.054
- At your lowest and you needed him the most.
- 00:20:28.121 --> 00:20:31.991
- Needed him the most. i say this in closing.
- 00:20:32.058 --> 00:20:35.361
- I say this in closing. jesus asked the question,
- 00:20:35.428 --> 00:20:38.331
- Jesus asked the question, "who is worthy?"
- 00:20:38.398 --> 00:20:41.601
- "who is worthy?" throughout this text,
- 00:20:41.668 --> 00:20:42.902
- Throughout this text, we've been walking
- 00:20:42.969 --> 00:20:43.569
- We've been walking a parallel road.
- 00:20:43.636 --> 00:20:46.939
- A parallel road. and just like there was
- 00:20:47.006 --> 00:20:47.807
- And just like there was a samaritan who came and showed
- 00:20:47.874 --> 00:20:49.242
- A samaritan who came and showed mercy to this victim,
- 00:20:49.309 --> 00:20:51.878
- Mercy to this victim, jesus christ,
- 00:20:51.944 --> 00:20:53.246
- Jesus christ, our heavenly samaritan came
- 00:20:53.313 --> 00:20:55.415
- Our heavenly samaritan came to us 2,000 years ago.
- 00:20:55.481 --> 00:20:58.484
- To us 2,000 years ago. we were fallen, we were beaten,
- 00:20:58.551 --> 00:21:00.586
- We were fallen, we were beaten, we were left for dead.
- 00:21:00.653 --> 00:21:02.055
- We were left for dead. satan, the predator,
- 00:21:02.121 --> 00:21:03.523
- Satan, the predator, had done all that
- 00:21:03.589 --> 00:21:04.557
- Had done all that he could to make us
- 00:21:04.624 --> 00:21:05.725
- He could to make us slaves to sin,
- 00:21:05.792 --> 00:21:06.993
- Slaves to sin, but jesus christ came
- 00:21:07.060 --> 00:21:08.561
- But jesus christ came to where we were and he didn't
- 00:21:08.628 --> 00:21:10.496
- To where we were and he didn't pass by on the other side,
- 00:21:10.563 --> 00:21:12.632
- Pass by on the other side, but he began to heal us
- 00:21:12.699 --> 00:21:14.834
- But he began to heal us and restore us.
- 00:21:14.901 --> 00:21:16.102
- And restore us. he washed us in his blood
- 00:21:16.169 --> 00:21:17.937
- He washed us in his blood and he poured his holy spirit
- 00:21:18.004 --> 00:21:19.806
- And he poured his holy spirit of anointing on us.
