Linda's News letter
Who IS MY Neighbor?
In Luke 10:29, a man asked Jesus, "Who is my neighbor?" The Lord replied by telling this story.
"A traveler was on his way from Jerusalem to Jericho when he is beaten, robbed and left for dead. A priest and a Levite passed by, each basically saying, "It is not my job to care for him."
But, along comes a compassionate Samaritan who bandges the man's wonds, takes him to as inn, cares for his needs, and pays the innkeeper to help. Jesus is saying that a true neighbor is someone with mercy in his heart. He then says, "Go and do likewise."
As members of Curtis United Methodist Church I like to think we are and have been on many occasions a good neighbor to hurting people not only in our town and community but aslo the world. So many times it has been through our constant prayers and generous gifts we have tried to show God's love to many others who are hungry, sick and dying for lack of life's neccessaries. It is in giving that we ourselves received and are able to share God's great love for all His people.
May God bless you for your faithfulness.
