Hagee Ministries | Matt Hagee - Love Thy Neighbor (Part 2) | April 16, 2026
- Music
- 00:00:00.126 --> 00:00:13.840
- Pastor matt hagee: in luke 10,
- 00:00:15.375 --> 00:00:16.743
- Pastor matt hagee: in luke 10, we're at the point of scripture
- 00:00:16.843 --> 00:00:18.778
- We're at the point of scripture that we recall the parable
- 00:00:18.845 --> 00:00:20.914
- That we recall the parable of the good samaritan.
- 00:00:20.980 --> 00:00:23.283
- Of the good samaritan. and whenever you come
- 00:00:23.349 --> 00:00:23.883
- And whenever you come to a parable,
- 00:00:23.950 --> 00:00:24.818
- To a parable, what you need
- 00:00:24.884 --> 00:00:25.285
- What you need to realize is that you
- 00:00:25.385 --> 00:00:26.453
- To realize is that you are walking a parallel road.
- 00:00:26.553 --> 00:00:29.355
- Are walking a parallel road. they're going the same
- 00:00:29.456 --> 00:00:30.156
- They're going the same direction but they're different.
- 00:00:30.256 --> 00:00:32.525
- Direction but they're different. the first road that you walk on
- 00:00:32.592 --> 00:00:34.027
- The first road that you walk on when you read a parable
- 00:00:34.094 --> 00:00:35.161
- When you read a parable is the obvious message
- 00:00:35.261 --> 00:00:36.729
- Is the obvious message that's presented in the text,
- 00:00:36.830 --> 00:00:39.365
- That's presented in the text, "who is my neighbor?"
- 00:00:39.432 --> 00:00:40.433
- "who is my neighbor?" jesus engages in a story that
- 00:00:40.500 --> 00:00:42.535
- Jesus engages in a story that many of us are familiar with.
- 00:00:42.635 --> 00:00:44.571
- Many of us are familiar with. but the second road
- 00:00:44.637 --> 00:00:45.538
- But the second road that you're walking,
- 00:00:45.605 --> 00:00:46.339
- That you're walking, going in the same direction
- 00:00:46.406 --> 00:00:47.640
- Going in the same direction but different is an eternal
- 00:00:47.740 --> 00:00:49.843
- But different is an eternal truth that is about
- 00:00:49.909 --> 00:00:51.511
- Truth that is about the kingdom of god.
- 00:00:51.578 --> 00:00:54.214
- The kingdom of god. the text begins,
- 00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:56.149
- The text begins, "and a certain lawyer stood up
- 00:00:56.216 --> 00:00:58.551
- "and a certain lawyer stood up and tested him."
- 00:00:58.618 --> 00:01:00.753
- And tested him." you and i,
- 00:01:00.820 --> 00:01:01.488
- You and i, having the benefit
- 00:01:01.554 --> 00:01:02.088
- Having the benefit of the doubt,
- 00:01:02.155 --> 00:01:03.022
- Of the doubt, looking back instead
- 00:01:03.089 --> 00:01:04.090
- Looking back instead of being in the moment,
- 00:01:04.190 --> 00:01:05.992
- Of being in the moment, we immediately think,
- 00:01:06.059 --> 00:01:06.960
- We immediately think, "are you serious?
- 00:01:07.026 --> 00:01:08.862
- "are you serious? i mean, a human with finite
- 00:01:08.928 --> 00:01:11.364
- I mean, a human with finite knowledge is going to test
- 00:01:11.431 --> 00:01:14.100
- Knowledge is going to test infinite wisdom?
- 00:01:14.167 --> 00:01:15.902
- Infinite wisdom? this guy has the nerve
- 00:01:15.969 --> 00:01:17.203
- This guy has the nerve to try and trip up the son
- 00:01:17.270 --> 00:01:18.771
- To try and trip up the son of the living god?
- 00:01:18.838 --> 00:01:19.839
- Of the living god? the mortal is challenging
- 00:01:19.939 --> 00:01:21.474
- The mortal is challenging the immortal?
- 00:01:21.541 --> 00:01:23.610
- The immortal? who does he think he is?"
- 00:01:23.676 --> 00:01:26.079
- Who does he think he is?" and he comes to christ
- 00:01:26.179 --> 00:01:27.046
- And he comes to christ and he says,
- 00:01:27.147 --> 00:01:27.614
- And he says, "i have a question for you.
- 00:01:27.714 --> 00:01:28.948
- "i have a question for you. how do i inherit eternal life?"
- 00:01:29.048 --> 00:01:32.051
- How do i inherit eternal life?" jesus gives him a very
- 00:01:32.152 --> 00:01:33.887
- Jesus gives him a very straight and solid answer.
- 00:01:33.953 --> 00:01:36.122
- Straight and solid answer. "you're a lawyer,
- 00:01:36.222 --> 00:01:37.190
- "you're a lawyer, you figure it out."
- 00:01:37.257 --> 00:01:40.193
- You figure it out." so, the attorney quotes
- 00:01:40.260 --> 00:01:41.661
- So, the attorney quotes the same verse that we read
- 00:01:41.728 --> 00:01:43.096
- The same verse that we read last week out of deuteronomy,
- 00:01:43.196 --> 00:01:45.064
- Last week out of deuteronomy, "love the lord your god
- 00:01:45.165 --> 00:01:46.032
- "love the lord your god with all of your heart,
- 00:01:46.132 --> 00:01:46.733
- With all of your heart, with all of your soul,
- 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:47.400
- With all of your soul, with all of your strength,
- 00:01:47.500 --> 00:01:48.168
- With all of your strength, and with all of your mind,
- 00:01:48.268 --> 00:01:49.369
- And with all of your mind, and your neighbor as yourself."
- 00:01:49.435 --> 00:01:51.604
- And your neighbor as yourself." jesus says,
- 00:01:51.671 --> 00:01:52.205
- Jesus says, "you've got the answer.
- 00:01:52.272 --> 00:01:54.174
- "you've got the answer. do that and you'll have
- 00:01:54.274 --> 00:01:55.508
- Do that and you'll have what you want."
- 00:01:55.575 --> 00:01:57.510
- What you want." but have you ever met
- 00:01:57.610 --> 00:01:58.311
- But have you ever met somebody that asks a question
- 00:01:58.411 --> 00:02:00.380
- Somebody that asks a question and they really
- 00:02:00.446 --> 00:02:00.947
- And they really don't want information?
- 00:02:01.014 --> 00:02:02.348
- Don't want information? when they ask a question,
- 00:02:02.448 --> 00:02:03.550
- When they ask a question, what they really want
- 00:02:03.650 --> 00:02:04.484
- What they really want is an argument?
- 00:02:04.584 --> 00:02:08.721
- Is an argument? jesus says,
- 00:02:08.821 --> 00:02:09.255
- Jesus says, "love your neighbor
- 00:02:09.322 --> 00:02:09.889
- "love your neighbor as yourself.
- 00:02:09.956 --> 00:02:10.657
- As yourself. do this and you'll inherit
- 00:02:10.723 --> 00:02:11.991
- Do this and you'll inherit eternal life."
- 00:02:12.058 --> 00:02:12.659
- Eternal life." and the lawyer says,
- 00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:13.693
- And the lawyer says, "yeah, but who
- 00:02:13.760 --> 00:02:15.862
- "yeah, but who is my neighbor?"
- 00:02:15.929 --> 00:02:18.031
- Is my neighbor?" he wants to say that
- 00:02:18.097 --> 00:02:18.932
- He wants to say that the word of god is not clear.
- 00:02:18.998 --> 00:02:21.935
- The word of god is not clear. that it's confusing.
- 00:02:22.035 --> 00:02:23.102
- That it's confusing. that it didn't define clearly
- 00:02:23.169 --> 00:02:25.538
- That it didn't define clearly who the neighbor was.
- 00:02:25.605 --> 00:02:26.639
- Who the neighbor was. because if he
- 00:02:26.739 --> 00:02:27.407
- Because if he had a clear definition,
- 00:02:27.507 --> 00:02:28.775
- Had a clear definition, if maybe he got a gps google pin
- 00:02:28.875 --> 00:02:32.078
- If maybe he got a gps google pin dropped right on
- 00:02:32.178 --> 00:02:32.812
- Dropped right on the guy's house,
- 00:02:32.912 --> 00:02:33.680
- The guy's house, then he could go over
- 00:02:33.746 --> 00:02:34.447
- Then he could go over there and love his neighbor.
- 00:02:34.514 --> 00:02:35.715
- There and love his neighbor. but until this neighbor was
- 00:02:35.782 --> 00:02:36.916
- But until this neighbor was clearly identified, you can't
- 00:02:37.016 --> 00:02:38.418
- Clearly identified, you can't expect me to keep
- 00:02:38.484 --> 00:02:39.586
- Expect me to keep such vague language.
- 00:02:39.652 --> 00:02:42.689
- Such vague language. and jesus uses the story of
- 00:02:42.755 --> 00:02:44.390
- And jesus uses the story of the good samaritan to explain
- 00:02:44.457 --> 00:02:46.025
- The good samaritan to explain exactly who your neighbor is,
- 00:02:46.125 --> 00:02:49.329
- Exactly who your neighbor is, and he reminds us
- 00:02:49.429 --> 00:02:50.663
- And he reminds us of this very simple truth,
- 00:02:50.730 --> 00:02:52.632
- Of this very simple truth, that righteousness is not
- 00:02:52.732 --> 00:02:53.900
- That righteousness is not something that's on
- 00:02:53.967 --> 00:02:54.601
- Something that's on the outside of you,
- 00:02:54.667 --> 00:02:55.668
- The outside of you, righteousness is someone
- 00:02:55.735 --> 00:02:57.003
- Righteousness is someone who's on the inside of you.
- 00:02:57.070 --> 00:02:59.939
- Who's on the inside of you. so, jesus begins the parable
- 00:03:00.006 --> 00:03:01.174
- So, jesus begins the parable of the good samaritan,
- 00:03:01.274 --> 00:03:02.175
- Of the good samaritan, and in it, he tells us
- 00:03:02.275 --> 00:03:04.010
- And in it, he tells us of three types of people.
- 00:03:04.077 --> 00:03:05.812
- Of three types of people. he tells us about
- 00:03:05.912 --> 00:03:06.813
- He tells us about a wounded person.
- 00:03:06.913 --> 00:03:08.881
- A wounded person. and you need to know that
- 00:03:08.948 --> 00:03:09.716
- And you need to know that in this life,
- 00:03:09.816 --> 00:03:10.516
- In this life, at some point or another,
- 00:03:10.617 --> 00:03:11.551
- At some point or another, you will be wounded.
- 00:03:11.618 --> 00:03:13.820
- You will be wounded. and then he tells us
- 00:03:13.920 --> 00:03:14.687
- And then he tells us about wicked people.
- 00:03:14.754 --> 00:03:17.957
- About wicked people. and what you don't ever want
- 00:03:18.024 --> 00:03:18.825
- And what you don't ever want to be in this life is a wicked
- 00:03:18.925 --> 00:03:20.026
- To be in this life is a wicked person because the bible is very
- 00:03:20.126 --> 00:03:22.528
- Person because the bible is very clear that the hand of god never
- 00:03:22.629 --> 00:03:24.964
- Clear that the hand of god never leaves the house of the wicked.
- 00:03:25.031 --> 00:03:28.001
- Leaves the house of the wicked. he's always against them.
- 00:03:28.101 --> 00:03:30.603
- He's always against them. and then he finishes by telling
- 00:03:30.670 --> 00:03:31.804
- And then he finishes by telling us about a worthy person.
- 00:03:31.871 --> 00:03:35.308
- Us about a worthy person. and the first lesson that
- 00:03:35.375 --> 00:03:36.709
- And the first lesson that we learn in this parable
- 00:03:36.809 --> 00:03:38.611
- We learn in this parable is that you should watch
- 00:03:38.678 --> 00:03:39.979
- Is that you should watch where you're going.
- 00:03:40.046 --> 00:03:42.382
- Where you're going. jesus tells about a certain man
- 00:03:42.448 --> 00:03:44.851
- Jesus tells about a certain man who went down from jerusalem
- 00:03:44.951 --> 00:03:46.753
- Who went down from jerusalem to jericho and he fell
- 00:03:46.819 --> 00:03:48.454
- To jericho and he fell among thieves.
- 00:03:48.521 --> 00:03:49.989
- Among thieves. the thieves stripped him
- 00:03:50.056 --> 00:03:50.857
- The thieves stripped him of his clothing,
- 00:03:50.957 --> 00:03:51.491
- Of his clothing, and they wounded him,
- 00:03:51.591 --> 00:03:52.625
- And they wounded him, and they departed
- 00:03:52.725 --> 00:03:53.993
- And they departed leaving him half dead.
- 00:03:54.093 --> 00:03:56.996
- Leaving him half dead. other than the detail
- 00:03:57.063 --> 00:03:57.830
- Other than the detail that he's a man,
- 00:03:57.897 --> 00:03:58.631
- That he's a man, we don't know much about him.
- 00:03:58.731 --> 00:03:59.666
- We don't know much about him. we don't know his
- 00:03:59.766 --> 00:04:00.400
- We don't know his economic status,
- 00:04:00.500 --> 00:04:01.200
- Economic status, we don't his educational level,
- 00:04:01.301 --> 00:04:03.002
- We don't his educational level, we don't know if he's married,
- 00:04:03.069 --> 00:04:03.870
- We don't know if he's married, if he's single.
- 00:04:03.970 --> 00:04:05.438
- If he's single. we don't know many
- 00:04:05.538 --> 00:04:06.239
- We don't know many of these things.
- 00:04:06.306 --> 00:04:07.407
- Of these things. and the reason that
- 00:04:07.507 --> 00:04:08.074
- And the reason that i don't believe we know them
- 00:04:08.141 --> 00:04:09.208
- I don't believe we know them is because jesus wanted
- 00:04:09.275 --> 00:04:10.310
- Is because jesus wanted each and every person
- 00:04:10.410 --> 00:04:11.811
- Each and every person not to identify with
- 00:04:11.878 --> 00:04:12.912
- Not to identify with the character
- 00:04:12.979 --> 00:04:13.713
- The character but to understand that
- 00:04:13.780 --> 00:04:14.714
- But to understand that as an individual,
- 00:04:14.781 --> 00:04:15.882
- As an individual, you should watch
- 00:04:15.948 --> 00:04:17.183
- You should watch where you're going.
- 00:04:17.250 --> 00:04:20.320
- Where you're going. when jesus tells us that he
- 00:04:20.386 --> 00:04:22.088
- When jesus tells us that he goes from jerusalem to jericho,
- 00:04:22.155 --> 00:04:24.257
- Goes from jerusalem to jericho, he's talking about
- 00:04:24.357 --> 00:04:25.458
- He's talking about a descending journey.
- 00:04:25.558 --> 00:04:26.993
- A descending journey. this man is going down.
- 00:04:27.093 --> 00:04:28.961
- This man is going down. he's going the wrong direction.
- 00:04:29.062 --> 00:04:32.332
- He's going the wrong direction. he's going down geographically.
- 00:04:32.398 --> 00:04:35.168
- He's going down geographically. let's just talk about
- 00:04:35.268 --> 00:04:35.902
- Let's just talk about it on the map.
- 00:04:36.002 --> 00:04:37.403
- It on the map. when you're in
- 00:04:37.470 --> 00:04:38.171
- When you're in the city of jerusalem,
- 00:04:38.237 --> 00:04:39.272
- The city of jerusalem, you are 2,300 feet
- 00:04:39.372 --> 00:04:40.807
- You are 2,300 feet above sea level.
- 00:04:40.907 --> 00:04:43.443
- Above sea level. if you go from jerusalem
- 00:04:43.509 --> 00:04:44.944
- If you go from jerusalem to jericho,
- 00:04:45.011 --> 00:04:46.379
- To jericho, it is a short
- 00:04:46.446 --> 00:04:46.913
- It is a short 20-mile distance,
- 00:04:46.979 --> 00:04:49.515
- 20-mile distance, but every step from jerusalem
- 00:04:49.582 --> 00:04:51.217
- But every step from jerusalem to jericho is a step down
- 00:04:51.284 --> 00:04:53.586
- To jericho is a step down because when you get to jericho,
- 00:04:53.686 --> 00:04:55.288
- Because when you get to jericho, you are in one
- 00:04:55.355 --> 00:04:56.189
- You are in one of the lowest cities
- 00:04:56.255 --> 00:04:57.256
- Of the lowest cities on the face of the earth.
- 00:04:57.323 --> 00:04:58.458
- On the face of the earth. you are 1,300 feet
- 00:04:58.558 --> 00:05:00.426
- You are 1,300 feet below sea level.
- 00:05:00.526 --> 00:05:02.362
- Below sea level. so, you go from 2,600 feet up
- 00:05:02.428 --> 00:05:04.864
- So, you go from 2,600 feet up to 1,300 feet below.
- 00:05:04.964 --> 00:05:06.299
- To 1,300 feet below. there's a fall of 3,600 feet
- 00:05:06.366 --> 00:05:09.402
- There's a fall of 3,600 feet between jerusalem and jericho.
- 00:05:09.469 --> 00:05:11.804
- Between jerusalem and jericho. not only is he physically
- 00:05:11.871 --> 00:05:13.539
- Not only is he physically going down,
- 00:05:13.606 --> 00:05:14.173
- Going down, but he's spiritually going down.
- 00:05:14.273 --> 00:05:15.942
- But he's spiritually going down. why?
- 00:05:16.042 --> 00:05:16.642
- Why? because jerusalem
- 00:05:16.709 --> 00:05:17.710
- Because jerusalem is the city of god
- 00:05:17.810 --> 00:05:19.011
- Is the city of god and jericho is the city
- 00:05:19.112 --> 00:05:20.780
- And jericho is the city of a conquered enemy.
- 00:05:20.880 --> 00:05:22.582
- Of a conquered enemy. jerusalem is where god lives.
- 00:05:22.648 --> 00:05:25.218
- Jerusalem is where god lives. jerusalem is where his house is.
- 00:05:25.284 --> 00:05:27.553
- Jerusalem is where his house is. when david said,
- 00:05:27.653 --> 00:05:28.321
- When david said, "i was glad when they said
- 00:05:28.421 --> 00:05:29.622
- "i was glad when they said unto me let us go into
- 00:05:29.689 --> 00:05:30.423
- Unto me let us go into the house of the lord,"
- 00:05:30.490 --> 00:05:32.425
- The house of the lord," he was talking about jerusalem.
- 00:05:32.525 --> 00:05:34.727
- He was talking about jerusalem. king david told us in the psalms
- 00:05:34.827 --> 00:05:37.263
- King david told us in the psalms to march around
- 00:05:37.363 --> 00:05:38.030
- To march around the walls of jerusalem and say
- 00:05:38.097 --> 00:05:39.799
- The walls of jerusalem and say to the next generation,
- 00:05:39.899 --> 00:05:41.167
- To the next generation, "god lives here."
- 00:05:41.267 --> 00:05:43.403
- "god lives here." he was giving us the command
- 00:05:43.469 --> 00:05:44.637
- He was giving us the command to tell young people
- 00:05:44.737 --> 00:05:46.406
- To tell young people that jerusalem is the place
- 00:05:46.472 --> 00:05:48.074
- That jerusalem is the place where god's presence is.
- 00:05:48.141 --> 00:05:49.442
- Where god's presence is. jerusalem is the place
- 00:05:49.509 --> 00:05:50.643
- Jerusalem is the place where god's best is.
- 00:05:50.710 --> 00:05:52.211
- Where god's best is. jerusalem is the place where
- 00:05:52.311 --> 00:05:53.579
- Jerusalem is the place where you receive all of his promises.
- 00:05:53.679 --> 00:05:55.815
- You receive all of his promises. and when you walk away from god,
- 00:05:55.882 --> 00:05:57.683
- And when you walk away from god, and when you walk away
- 00:05:57.784 --> 00:05:58.785
- And when you walk away from his promises,
- 00:05:58.851 --> 00:05:59.752
- From his promises, and when you walk away
- 00:05:59.819 --> 00:06:00.686
- And when you walk away from his refuge,
- 00:06:00.753 --> 00:06:01.554
- From his refuge, you are going
- 00:06:01.654 --> 00:06:03.189
- You are going the wrong direction.
- 00:06:03.256 --> 00:06:07.960
- The wrong direction. we meet the wounded.
- 00:06:08.060 --> 00:06:11.798
- We meet the wounded. and the circumstances that
- 00:06:11.864 --> 00:06:12.832
- And the circumstances that they were in was at the hands
- 00:06:12.932 --> 00:06:14.500
- They were in was at the hands of the wicked.
- 00:06:14.567 --> 00:06:18.204
- Of the wicked. for the bible says
- 00:06:18.271 --> 00:06:18.905
- For the bible says he fell among thieves.
- 00:06:18.971 --> 00:06:21.941
- He fell among thieves. thieves are easy to identify
- 00:06:22.041 --> 00:06:24.010
- Thieves are easy to identify because we can see
- 00:06:24.076 --> 00:06:25.945
- Because we can see their blatant behavior.
- 00:06:26.012 --> 00:06:28.848
- Their blatant behavior. these are
- 00:06:28.915 --> 00:06:29.449
- These are the premeditated wicked.
- 00:06:29.515 --> 00:06:31.417
- The premeditated wicked. the ones who knew what they were
- 00:06:31.484 --> 00:06:33.019
- The ones who knew what they were doing and intended to do harm.
- 00:06:33.119 --> 00:06:36.289
- Doing and intended to do harm. now, i'm not suggesting that any
- 00:06:36.389 --> 00:06:37.557
- Now, i'm not suggesting that any of you would act that way,
- 00:06:37.623 --> 00:06:40.126
- Of you would act that way, but we all know
- 00:06:40.193 --> 00:06:41.194
- But we all know individuals who do.
- 00:06:41.294 --> 00:06:43.796
- Individuals who do. but you have to understand
- 00:06:43.863 --> 00:06:44.997
- But you have to understand that there's different kinds
- 00:06:45.064 --> 00:06:45.998
- That there's different kinds of ways to be a predator.
- 00:06:46.098 --> 00:06:49.602
- Of ways to be a predator. these people waited
- 00:06:49.669 --> 00:06:50.470
- These people waited in the rocks,
- 00:06:50.570 --> 00:06:51.204
- In the rocks, and when they saw
- 00:06:51.270 --> 00:06:51.671
- And when they saw the opportunity,
- 00:06:51.737 --> 00:06:52.505
- The opportunity, they jumped on the man
- 00:06:52.572 --> 00:06:53.706
- They jumped on the man and they took his possessions.
- 00:06:53.773 --> 00:06:55.908
- And they took his possessions. physically violent.
- 00:06:56.008 --> 00:06:58.644
- Physically violent. but how many of you know
- 00:06:58.744 --> 00:06:59.412
- But how many of you know somebody who can inflict just as
- 00:06:59.512 --> 00:07:01.347
- Somebody who can inflict just as big a wound with their tongue
- 00:07:01.447 --> 00:07:03.683
- Big a wound with their tongue as they can their fists?
- 00:07:03.783 --> 00:07:06.719
- As they can their fists? they're predators just the same.
- 00:07:06.786 --> 00:07:10.056
- They're predators just the same. the second kind of wicked person
- 00:07:10.156 --> 00:07:12.925
- The second kind of wicked person are the individuals we meet next
- 00:07:12.992 --> 00:07:14.393
- Are the individuals we meet next in the story because it tells us
- 00:07:14.494 --> 00:07:16.829
- In the story because it tells us about this man who's lying
- 00:07:16.896 --> 00:07:18.030
- About this man who's lying on the road half dead.
- 00:07:18.130 --> 00:07:20.132
- On the road half dead. and it says, "by chance,
- 00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:21.467

- 00:07:21.534 --> 00:07:22.401
- A certain priest came down that road,
- 00:07:22.468 --> 00:07:23.669
- Came down that road, and when he saw him,
- 00:07:23.769 --> 00:07:25.638
- And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
- 00:07:25.705 --> 00:07:29.041
- He passed by on the other side. likewise, a levite when
- 00:07:29.108 --> 00:07:30.376
- Likewise, a levite when he arrived at that place,
- 00:07:30.443 --> 00:07:31.544
- He arrived at that place, he came, and he looked,
- 00:07:31.611 --> 00:07:32.945
- He came, and he looked, and he passed
- 00:07:33.012 --> 00:07:33.579
- And he passed by on the other side."
- 00:07:33.679 --> 00:07:37.350

- 00:07:39.118 --> 00:07:39.819
- About a man going from jerusalem to jericho,
- 00:07:39.919 --> 00:07:41.320
- From jerusalem to jericho, the second that
- 00:07:41.420 --> 00:07:42.121
- The second that he mentioned jerusalem,
- 00:07:42.188 --> 00:07:43.356

- Everybody went, "no." and then they said
- 00:07:50.162 --> 00:07:51.364
- And then they said he fell among thieves
- 00:07:51.430 --> 00:07:52.398
- He fell among thieves and everybody went, "oh."
- 00:07:52.498 --> 00:07:55.268

- And then he said, "but here comes a priest."
- 00:07:55.868 --> 00:07:56.802
- "but here comes a priest." and everybody went, "yay."
- 00:07:56.869 --> 00:07:59.772
- And everybody went, "yay." because the hero has arrived.
- 00:07:59.872 --> 00:08:02.308
- Because the hero has arrived. the man who has
- 00:08:02.408 --> 00:08:03.109
- The man who has the answers is here.
- 00:08:03.209 --> 00:08:05.177
- The answers is here. and rather than come and serve
- 00:08:05.244 --> 00:08:07.013
- And rather than come and serve this individual who's fallen
- 00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:08.714
- This individual who's fallen prey to these thieves,
- 00:08:08.814 --> 00:08:11.050
- Prey to these thieves, he pulls out his cell phone.
- 00:08:11.150 --> 00:08:16.722
- He pulls out his cell phone. he gets on the other side
- 00:08:16.822 --> 00:08:17.557
- He gets on the other side of the road,
- 00:08:17.623 --> 00:08:18.958

- 00:08:19.025 --> 00:08:19.959
- He takes a few pictures and he says,
- 00:08:20.059 --> 00:08:20.560
- And he says, "hashtag bad day."
- 00:08:20.660 --> 00:08:26.766
- "hashtag bad day." and then comes the levite,
- 00:08:26.866 --> 00:08:29.735
- And then comes the levite, another worker in the temple.
- 00:08:29.835 --> 00:08:31.203
- Another worker in the temple. he's not in the role
- 00:08:31.270 --> 00:08:32.138
- He's not in the role of a priest,
- 00:08:32.204 --> 00:08:32.738
- Of a priest, but he's someone who
- 00:08:32.805 --> 00:08:33.472
- But he's someone who serves in the house of god.
- 00:08:33.539 --> 00:08:35.274
- Serves in the house of god. and everybody goes, "oh good."
- 00:08:35.341 --> 00:08:38.244
- And everybody goes, "oh good." but he does the same thing.
- 00:08:38.344 --> 00:08:41.013
- But he does the same thing. he captures the moment,
- 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:42.381
- He captures the moment, but only from a distance.
- 00:08:42.448 --> 00:08:43.649
- But only from a distance. he doesn't want to get too close
- 00:08:43.716 --> 00:08:44.951
- He doesn't want to get too close and he doesn't want
- 00:08:45.017 --> 00:08:45.585
- And he doesn't want to get too involved.
- 00:08:45.651 --> 00:08:48.220
- To get too involved. and in this, we don't see
- 00:08:48.287 --> 00:08:49.455
- And in this, we don't see the predatory wicked,
- 00:08:49.522 --> 00:08:50.856
- The predatory wicked, but we see the passive wicked.
- 00:08:50.957 --> 00:08:55.261
- But we see the passive wicked. how many people ignore problems
- 00:08:55.328 --> 00:08:57.263
- How many people ignore problems that they could solve,
- 00:08:57.363 --> 00:08:58.331
- That they could solve, and in their passivity,
- 00:08:58.397 --> 00:08:59.565
- And in their passivity, they make the problem worse.
- 00:08:59.665 --> 00:09:03.569
- They make the problem worse. you say, "oh preacher,
- 00:09:03.636 --> 00:09:04.203
- You say, "oh preacher, don't be so hard
- 00:09:04.270 --> 00:09:04.971
- Don't be so hard on these people.
- 00:09:05.037 --> 00:09:06.472
- On these people. the law of moses says that they
- 00:09:06.539 --> 00:09:07.740
- The law of moses says that they couldn't touch a dead man.
- 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:09.008
- Couldn't touch a dead man. if a priest is on his way
- 00:09:09.075 --> 00:09:10.409
- If a priest is on his way to serve in the temple
- 00:09:10.476 --> 00:09:11.444
- To serve in the temple and he touches a dead man,
- 00:09:11.544 --> 00:09:12.578
- And he touches a dead man, he's going to have to cleanse
- 00:09:12.678 --> 00:09:13.879
- He's going to have to cleanse for seven days."
- 00:09:13.946 --> 00:09:15.281
- For seven days." true, that's in the law.
- 00:09:15.348 --> 00:09:16.849
- True, that's in the law. but better to be a human
- 00:09:16.916 --> 00:09:18.150
- But better to be a human being than to be a law keeper.
- 00:09:18.217 --> 00:09:19.752
- [applause]
- 00:09:21.954 --> 00:09:27.426
- You see,
- 00:09:28.227 --> 00:09:28.761
- You see, everybody has a reason,
- 00:09:28.828 --> 00:09:29.795
- Everybody has a reason, everybody has an excuse,
- 00:09:29.862 --> 00:09:31.364
- Everybody has an excuse, everybody has a piece
- 00:09:31.430 --> 00:09:32.565
- Everybody has a piece of paper where they can run
- 00:09:32.665 --> 00:09:33.733
- Of paper where they can run and hide behind the policy.
- 00:09:33.833 --> 00:09:35.301
- And hide behind the policy. but what do you do when you see
- 00:09:35.401 --> 00:09:36.902
- But what do you do when you see another human in desperate need?
- 00:09:37.003 --> 00:09:40.740
- Another human in desperate need? do you come up with an excuse
- 00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:42.274
- Do you come up with an excuse or do you make good?
- 00:09:42.341 --> 00:09:44.577
- Or do you make good? there's only two kinds
- 00:09:44.644 --> 00:09:45.211
- There's only two kinds of people in this world,
- 00:09:45.277 --> 00:09:46.379
- Of people in this world, those who make good
- 00:09:46.479 --> 00:09:47.747
- Those who make good and those who make excuses.
- 00:09:47.847 --> 00:09:49.448
- And those who make excuses. and what you'll find when
- 00:09:49.515 --> 00:09:50.449
- And what you'll find when it comes to problem solving
- 00:09:50.549 --> 00:09:51.784
- It comes to problem solving is excuses are useless.
- 00:09:51.884 --> 00:09:57.156
- Is excuses are useless. look around you and see how much
- 00:09:57.223 --> 00:09:58.424
- Look around you and see how much passivity has caused wickedness.
- 00:09:58.524 --> 00:10:01.861
- Passivity has caused wickedness. if you want
- 00:10:01.927 --> 00:10:02.294
- If you want to destroy something,
- 00:10:02.395 --> 00:10:03.396
- To destroy something, if you want
- 00:10:03.462 --> 00:10:03.863
- If you want to destroy anything,
- 00:10:03.963 --> 00:10:05.398
- To destroy anything, ignore it.
- 00:10:05.498 --> 00:10:07.733
- Ignore it. a relationship, a marriage,
- 00:10:07.833 --> 00:10:09.835
- A relationship, a marriage, a business, your children,
- 00:10:09.902 --> 00:10:12.638
- A business, your children, your relationship with god,
- 00:10:12.738 --> 00:10:14.540
- Your relationship with god, your family.
- 00:10:14.640 --> 00:10:16.175
- Your family. all of them can
- 00:10:16.242 --> 00:10:16.942
- All of them can be destroyed by neglect.
- 00:10:17.009 --> 00:10:20.680
- Be destroyed by neglect. people see problems
- 00:10:20.746 --> 00:10:21.647
- People see problems and pretend they're not there.
- 00:10:21.714 --> 00:10:23.215
- And pretend they're not there. ignoring them does
- 00:10:23.282 --> 00:10:24.417
- Ignoring them does not make them go away.
- 00:10:24.517 --> 00:10:28.020
- Not make them go away. but when you challenge it,
- 00:10:28.087 --> 00:10:29.321
- But when you challenge it, now you can change it.

- "a certain samaritan." and i believe the reason
- 00:15:52.945 --> 00:15:54.346
- And i believe the reason he's just a certain samaritan
- 00:15:54.413 --> 00:15:56.081
- He's just a certain samaritan in the story is because god
- 00:15:56.148 --> 00:15:57.616
- In the story is because god wanted you to know you
- 00:15:57.683 --> 00:15:58.784
- Wanted you to know you don't have to be an angel
- 00:15:58.851 --> 00:16:00.119

- Every excuse that the priest and the levite made,
- 00:17:57.836 --> 00:17:58.804
- And the levite made, the samaritan didn't
- 00:17:58.871 --> 00:17:59.605
- The samaritan didn't even think about it.
- 00:17:59.705 --> 00:18:00.606
- Even think about it. if they were worried
- 00:18:00.706 --> 00:18:01.673
- If they were worried about touching the dead body,
- 00:18:01.740 --> 00:18:02.908
- About touching the dead body, he didn't think about it.
- 00:18:02.975 --> 00:18:04.042
- He didn't think about it. if he was worried about
- 00:18:04.109 --> 00:18:05.077
- If he was worried about the other thieves that
- 00:18:05.177 --> 00:18:06.145
- The other thieves that might be in the area,
- 00:18:06.211 --> 00:18:07.112
- Might be in the area, he didn't think about it.
- 00:18:07.179 --> 00:18:08.280
- He didn't think about it. without any thought for himself,
- 00:18:08.347 --> 00:18:10.115
- Without any thought for himself, he gave what he had
- 00:18:10.215 --> 00:18:11.783
- He gave what he had and he started to heal
- 00:18:11.850 --> 00:18:12.951
- And he started to heal this man's life.
- 00:18:13.018 --> 00:18:15.354
- This man's life. and he takes him to an inn
- 00:18:15.454 --> 00:18:19.158
- And he takes him to an inn and he pays the fee.
- 00:18:19.224 --> 00:18:22.561
- And he pays the fee. it says,
- 00:18:22.628 --> 00:18:23.061
- It says, "on the next day
- 00:18:23.128 --> 00:18:23.662
- "on the next day when he departed,
- 00:18:23.729 --> 00:18:24.563
- When he departed, he took out two denarii
- 00:18:24.630 --> 00:18:26.198
- He took out two denarii and he gave them to
- 00:18:26.265 --> 00:18:27.032
- And he gave them to the inn keeper and he said,
- 00:18:27.132 --> 00:18:28.467
- The inn keeper and he said, 'take care of him.
- 00:18:28.534 --> 00:18:30.435
- 'take care of him. and whatever more you spend,
- 00:18:30.502 --> 00:18:32.204
- And whatever more you spend, when i come again,
- 00:18:32.271 --> 00:18:34.006
- When i come again, i will repay you.'"
- 00:18:34.106 --> 00:18:36.108
- I will repay you.'" now, two denarii was enough
- 00:18:36.175 --> 00:18:39.344
- Now, two denarii was enough for two days of lodging.
- 00:18:39.411 --> 00:18:42.681
- For two days of lodging. and so, the samaritan
- 00:18:42.748 --> 00:18:43.682
- And so, the samaritan was planning on returning
- 00:18:43.749 --> 00:18:45.584
- Was planning on returning on the third day.
- 00:18:45.651 --> 00:18:49.454
- On the third day. so, jesus concludes
- 00:18:49.521 --> 00:18:50.622
- So, jesus concludes by asking the lawyer,
- 00:18:50.689 --> 00:18:52.558
- By asking the lawyer, "so which one of these three,
- 00:18:52.624 --> 00:18:55.527
- "so which one of these three, the priest, the levite,
- 00:18:55.594 --> 00:18:59.531
- The priest, the levite, or the samaritan took
- 00:18:59.598 --> 00:19:02.768
- Or the samaritan took care of his neighbor?"
- 00:19:02.868 --> 00:19:06.371
- Care of his neighbor?" and the lawyer said,
- 00:19:06.438 --> 00:19:07.139
- And the lawyer said, "the one who showed him mercy."
- 00:19:07.206 --> 00:19:10.909
- "the one who showed him mercy." and jesus said,
- 00:19:11.009 --> 00:19:12.778
- And jesus said, "go and do likewise
- 00:19:12.844 --> 00:19:15.814
- "go and do likewise and you'll have eternal life."
- 00:19:15.881 --> 00:19:19.184
- And you'll have eternal life." you see, it's not who you are,
- 00:19:19.251 --> 00:19:21.853
- You see, it's not who you are, it's what you do.
- 00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:24.656
- It's what you do. and it's not just what you do,
- 00:19:24.756 --> 00:19:25.791
- And it's not just what you do, but it's how you do it.
- 00:19:25.857 --> 00:19:28.860
- But it's how you do it. and it's not for the honor
- 00:19:28.927 --> 00:19:30.596
- And it's not for the honor and respect of those
- 00:19:30.662 --> 00:19:31.863
- And respect of those who are around you,
- 00:19:31.964 --> 00:19:33.599
- Who are around you, but it's in obedience to the god
- 00:19:33.699 --> 00:19:35.634
- But it's in obedience to the god who did that for you.
- 00:19:35.701 --> 00:19:36.935
- [applause]
- 00:19:37.636 --> 00:19:43.609
- The samaritan is worthy,
- 00:19:44.676 --> 00:19:46.311
- The samaritan is worthy, not because of where
- 00:19:46.378 --> 00:19:47.512
- Not because of where he came from,
- 00:19:47.579 --> 00:19:48.080
- He came from, the samaritan is worthy
- 00:19:48.146 --> 00:19:49.448

- 00:19:49.514 --> 00:19:50.649
- Because of the righteousness that was in him that
- 00:19:50.716 --> 00:19:51.817
- That was in him that he used to show mercy.
- 00:19:51.917 --> 00:19:54.319
- He used to show mercy. do you see someone in need
- 00:19:54.386 --> 00:19:55.687
- Do you see someone in need and run to figure out
- 00:19:55.754 --> 00:19:56.989
- And run to figure out how you can be a part of help
- 00:19:57.055 --> 00:19:58.490
- How you can be a part of help or do you quickly judge
- 00:19:58.590 --> 00:19:59.958
- Or do you quickly judge and come to a conclusion
- 00:20:00.025 --> 00:20:01.326
- And come to a conclusion that they got
- 00:20:01.393 --> 00:20:01.960
- That they got what they deserved?
- 00:20:02.060 --> 00:20:03.795
- What they deserved? mercy is not getting
- 00:20:03.862 --> 00:20:05.230
- Mercy is not getting what you deserve,
- 00:20:05.297 --> 00:20:06.131
- What you deserve, mercy is receiving
- 00:20:06.198 --> 00:20:07.366
- Mercy is receiving what you don't deserve.
- 00:20:07.466 --> 00:20:09.635
- What you don't deserve. jesus told his disciples,
- 00:20:09.701 --> 00:20:11.036
- Jesus told his disciples, "a new commandment i give you.
- 00:20:11.136 --> 00:20:13.171
- "a new commandment i give you. you love one another
- 00:20:13.238 --> 00:20:14.606
- You love one another as i have loved you."
- 00:20:14.673 --> 00:20:18.277
- As i have loved you." that's written in john 13:34.
- 00:20:18.343 --> 00:20:20.379
- That's written in john 13:34. "you love one another
- 00:20:20.479 --> 00:20:21.713

- 00:20:21.780 --> 00:20:23.815
- As i have loved you." how did jesus love you?
- 00:20:23.882 --> 00:20:25.384
- How did jesus love you? he loved you when you were
- 00:20:25.450 --> 00:20:26.752
- He loved you when you were at your lowest and you
- 00:20:26.818 --> 00:20:28.053
- At your lowest and you needed him the most.
- 00:20:28.120 --> 00:20:31.990
- Needed him the most. i say this in closing.
- 00:20:32.057 --> 00:20:35.327
- I say this in closing. jesus asked the question,
- 00:20:35.427 --> 00:20:38.297
- Jesus asked the question, "who is worthy?"
- 00:20:38.397 --> 00:20:41.566
- "who is worthy?" throughout this text,
- 00:20:41.667 --> 00:20:42.868
- Throughout this text, we've been walking
- 00:20:42.934 --> 00:20:43.535
- We've been walking a parallel road.
- 00:20:43.635 --> 00:20:46.905
- A parallel road. and just like there was
- 00:20:46.972 --> 00:20:47.773
- And just like there was a samaritan who came and showed
- 00:20:47.873 --> 00:20:49.241
- A samaritan who came and showed mercy to this victim,
- 00:20:49.308 --> 00:20:51.843
- Mercy to this victim, jesus christ,
- 00:20:51.943 --> 00:20:53.211
- Jesus christ, our heavenly samaritan came
- 00:20:53.312 --> 00:20:55.414
- Our heavenly samaritan came to us 2,000 years ago.
- 00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:58.450
- To us 2,000 years ago. we were fallen, we were beaten,
- 00:20:58.550 --> 00:21:00.552
- We were fallen, we were beaten, we were left for dead.
- 00:21:00.652 --> 00:21:02.054
- We were left for dead. satan, the predator,
- 00:21:02.120 --> 00:21:03.488
- Satan, the predator, had done all that
- 00:21:03.588 --> 00:21:04.556
- Had done all that he could to make us
- 00:21:04.623 --> 00:21:05.724
- He could to make us slaves to sin,
- 00:21:05.791 --> 00:21:06.958
- Slaves to sin, but jesus christ came
- 00:21:07.025 --> 00:21:08.527
- But jesus christ came to where we were and he didn't
- 00:21:08.627 --> 00:21:10.462
- To where we were and he didn't pass by on the other side,
- 00:21:10.529 --> 00:21:12.597
- Pass by on the other side, but he began to heal us
- 00:21:12.698 --> 00:21:14.833
- But he began to heal us and restore us.
- 00:21:14.900 --> 00:21:16.068
- And restore us. he washed us in his blood
- 00:21:16.134 --> 00:21:17.903
- He washed us in his blood and he poured his holy spirit
- 00:21:18.003 --> 00:21:19.771

- 00:21:24.643 --> 00:21:25.143
- He said, "i go to prepare
- 00:21:25.210 --> 00:21:25.744
- "i go to prepare a place for you,
