A Modern Day Samaritan – Dr. Charles Stanley

Published 2020-04-24
“Listen carefully—when your heart can't break, you're in trouble,” says Dr. Stanley.

Compassion means "to suffer with," and even though that is often uncomfortable, it is central to loving our neighbors the way Jesus illustrated in the parable of the good Samaritan. In this message, Dr. Stanley encourages us to serve the suffering among us with open hearts and open hands. Learn to embrace the pain of others and bring healing through compassion.

    Is it not sad how people in our inner circle, in our family or church can often act as bad neighbors? O that we will be true neighbors to everyone irrespective of race, color, religion, sex... no limitation!! Love as Jesus loved!! Father Lord, Please help us to love the world in the same way you have loved us!! Help us to reach out beyond our differences and to offer love, genuine love to all men in Jesus name, Amen!

    Jesus never said that God spoke to this man’s heart to help the wounded man. The man saw the need and helped.
