People care for people

Luke 10:25-37

  1. Read through the entire passage. "Eternallife" (v.25) in this context is life as the eternal
    God means for it to be lived. How does 10:27 summarize that kind of life? What do you think a life that lives out these two loves would look like on a day-to-day basis?





  2. Why do you think the lawyer felt he had to justify himself in v. 29a? Do you think he was living the life called for in v 27 perfectly? Are you? In what ways do you empathize with the lawyer?





  3. The lawyer’s question in v.29b seems to be saying, “We cannot love everyone! What does God really require of us?” Can you imagine anyone in church asking a question like that? Explain.





  4. Jesus' story in vv. 30-35 is his best-known story. As you read the story:
    • To whom do we not need to show love?
    • When should we show love to people and when
    should we not?
    • To what extent should we show practical love to
    people in need?
    • What did the priest and the Levite do wrong?
    • What was Jesus' point in making the Samaritan
    the good guy?





  5. How do you answer Jesus' question in v.36? Why?





  6. How do you plan to respond personally to Jesus' directive in v.37b? How important is it for you to obey what Jesus is saying in the light of vv.27-28? Do you think people live as God made us to live when we obey?
