Until we think about it we do not realize how dimly the law of love for one’s neighbour was understood in those days. Indeed, the parable of the Good Samaritan was a new revelation to the world. “A certain man &hellip fell among robbers, which both stripped him and beat him &hellip leaving him half dead.” The road from Jerusalem to Jericho is a type of many roads in this world. Every day men and women are robbed, not robbed of money, perhaps, but of their very life, of things in their life which are greater treasures than gold or silver or gems. Think of temptation’s work. Think of what selfishness and greed are doing all the while for thousands of people.
