CELESTIAL ETERNITY

To Love Your Neighbor

To Love Your Neighbor
Author: Mark V. Markov

To truly love someone in need
To love your neighbor
Is as Christ said
To the one
Who asked Him,
About who is my neighbor.

He said, look at the good Samaritan
He didn't just say hi
And passed by
He didn't just
Say God bless you
And passed by
He didn't just say
I'll pray for you and passed by

Of course
Prayers always help
But if you are able
Please help also

So he picked up
The helpless man
Laying on the street
Put bandages on him
And took him to an inn

He paid for him
And said if he needs to stay longer
That he would pay more

Then Christ said
To the one asking,
Who is my neighbor?
He said to him,
Go and do likewise.

To truly love someone in need
To love your neighbor
Is as Christ said
To the one
Who asked Him,
About who is my neighbor.

Christ said to him
Look at the man
Helping out of love,
Go and do likewise.




Luke 10:25-37 (ESV)

The Parable of the Good Samaritan

25 And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

26 He said to him, "What is written in the Law? How do you read it?"

27 And he answered,
"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself."

28 And he said to him, "You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live."

29 But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"

30 Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half dead.

31 Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side.

32 So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

33 But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion.

34 He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him.

35 And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.'

36 Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?"

37 He said, "The one who showed him mercy." And Jesus said to him, "You go, and do likewise."
