Text: Luke 10:36-37

Scripture Reading: Luke 10:25-37

Introduction: That would it take, to end racial prejudice, in our generation?

Understanding the Statement: There are four classes of men in this passage.        

          1.  “A certain man”

          2.  “The thieves who robbed”

          3.  “There was a Priest and the Levite”

          4.  “A Good Samaritan"

               -  He was kind at heart!

               -  His was not hindered by personal by inconvenience!

               -  He was a man of integrity!

               -   He was not hindered by prejudice!                                                                  

          V.36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into            the hands of robbers?”

         The Christian church has and must, along with each Christian, continue to:

               *  Help with Physical needs.

               *  Social, political, and educational needs.

               *  Spiritual needs.
