I love to hear to hear what people say? I love to hear their responses to this because what their responses to this because what their responses to this because what Jesus is about to do to this man, he is Jesus is about to do to this man, he is Jesus is about to do to this man, he is about to explode what he thinks his about to explode what he thinks his about to explode what he thinks his neighbor is. Because this man thinks, I neighbor is. Because this man thinks, I neighbor is. Because this man thinks, I help those that I love. And that's not help those that I love. And that's not help those that I love. And that's not what the sermon on the mount says. I what the sermon on the mount says. I what the sermon on the mount says. I pray for those that persecute me, that pray for those that persecute me, that pray for those that persecute me, that hate me. I love my enemies and I do good hate me.

I pray for my enemies and I do good to those that hate enemies and I do good to those that hate enemies and I do good to those that hate me. So, think about this story for just me. So, think about this story for just me. So, think about this story for just a second. Jesus is about to explode this a second. Jesus is about to explode this a second. Jesus is about to explode this man's idea. He's about to take over this man's idea. He's about to take over this man's idea. He's about to take over this man that has already established in his man that has already established in his man that has already established in his mind who his neighbors and he's just mind who his neighbors and he's just mind who his neighbors and he's just asking Jesus to agree with him. THAT'S asking Jesus to agree with him. THAT'S asking Jesus to agree with him. THAT'S ALL HE'S DOING. He's not asking because ALL HE'S DOING. He's not asking because ALL HE'S DOING. He's not asking because he wants information. He's asking he wants information. He's asking he wants information. He's asking because he wants to know that I don't because he wants to know that I don't because he wants to know that I don't have to help. I don't have to help have to help. I don't have to help have to help. I don't have to help people I don't like. So Jesus tells the people I don't like. So Jesus tells the people I don't like. So Jesus tells the story of the Samaritan, finds out that story of the Samaritan, finds out that story of the Samaritan, finds out that the priest and the Levite. The priest the priest and the Levite. The priest the priest and the Levite. The priest finds an angle. The Levite avoids him.

But it's the Samaritan But it's the Samaritan But it's the Samaritan who saw him, felt something, and then who saw him, felt something, and then who saw him, felt something, and then acted upon what he saw and felt. The man acted upon what he saw and felt. The man acted upon what he saw and felt. The man that nobody would have guessed in the that nobody would have guessed in the that nobody would have guessed in the story. The man that nobody would have story. The man that nobody would have story. The man that nobody would have realized that this is the guy that was realized that this is the guy that was realized that this is the guy that was going to show exactly what Jesus was going to show exactly what Jesus was going to show exactly what Jesus was talking about. A few years ago, I was talking about. A few years ago, I was talking about. A few years ago, I was reading a book called Into Thin Air. It reading a book called Into Thin Air.
