Jesus told him, ‘Go and do likewise.’
This is the end of the story of the Good Samaritan. Jesus told about the priest and the Levite who avoided the wounded man. He also told about the Samaritan who took care of him, costing him time, effort and money. Then he asked which was the neighbor.
I especially like that last sentence. Go and do likewise. It reminds me of John Wesley's words, "Do all the good you can...."
Prayer: Lord, help me to do as the Good Samaritan did. Open my eyes to the need, and move me to do whatever I can to be there for those I encounter.
Amen
