Know Your FOUR
Mike Breaux | April 3, 2022
Mike Breaux takes this one as he unpacks the story of the “Good Samaritan” in Luke 10 and how it pertains to investing in our relationships, particularly those whom we identified last week as our “four” we are going to focus on. If you haven’t listened to that message yet, we encourage you to do so.
The Good Samaritan is a great story, and we all love good stories. They’re powerful and Jesus was a master storyteller. He used lessons, props, humor, history, current events, and he told the stories or “parables” that were full of wisdom, insight, and truth. It’s almost as if he were painting a picture of God’s Kingdom with words and his listeners drank it up (for better or worse).
In this particular story, Jesus raises the question: “Who is my neighbor?” and invites us even today to ponder it. It reinforces the fact that God is for everyone and we should be as well, but it can’t happen without genuine risk, investment, and a hear that is captured by the love of God. Only then can the “eyes of our heart” be open to the world around us so we can team up with God in changing it for the better
