A police was going out on his regular rounds, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A police commissioner happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a wealthy white businessman, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
But a Black man,as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he had compassion on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, quickly and generously applying medicines. Then he put the man in his own car, brought him to a hospital and made sure he was well cared for all night. The next day he wrote a check for the entire weeks bill and and said ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’
Luke 10: 36-37
Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”
Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
A black man was going from his job to home, when he was attacked by police. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A government official happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a wealthy business man, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
But when an white elderly southern policeman from the south (who had worked in the Jim Crow era) came where the man was, he had compassion on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, quickly and generously pouring on medication. Then he put the man in his own car, brought him to a hospital and sat by his bed taking care of him all night.
The next day he took out a blank check and gave it to the doctor. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’
Luke 10:36 - 38
36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” 37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”
Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
