And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, “Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

Luke 10:30-37

To care about “others” is to notice your brothers who are in need. It is important to see the needs that your brothers have. There are many people who pass by and pretend that they cannot see, feel or understand the needs that you have.
The priest and the Levite saw the difficulties of the man who had fallen into the hands of thieves. When they saw his needs, they passed by on the other side of the road and did nothing to help. It is amazing that we, the religious people, are often guilty of neglecting “others”.
The Good Samaritan interrupted his journey because of “others”. Most people are not prepared to interrupt their busy schedules or their holidays to help “others”. Most people say they do not have money to help, but they always have enough money to go on expensive trips.
The Good Samaritan poured the oil and wine into “others”. The Good Samaritan poured the oil and the wine into someone he did not know.

“The Good Samaritan stopped in his tracks and poured in the oil and the wine. The oil represents the Holy Spirit and the wine represents the blood of Jesus. The whole world is in need of the Holy Spirit and the blood of Jesus. “Others” need the Holy Spirit! “Others” need the blood of Jesus!
The greatest need for the world today is Jesus Christ and His precious blood. Nothing can save this world from the damnation it is hurtling towards.  Only the blood of Jesus can save the souls of the multitude. The greatest need of our world is not boreholes, running water or electricity. The greatest need of our world is Jesus Christ! The greatest love you can show to others is to show them Jesus Christ.

“The greatest need for the church today is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the living breath of God in our midst. The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty! (Zephaniah 3:17) It is the mighty presence of God in our midst that avails and achieves anything. God’s power is released towards us through the Holy Spirit. It is God’s power that can and will change our lives. One of the only things

“Jesus taught us to pray for is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit reveals the mighty secrets that will change our lives. I depend on the Holy Spirit every day. I need the Holy Spirit every day. The people who are blessing this world the most are those who pour in the oil of the Holy Spirit. Those who release the power of the Holy Spirit in the world today are the apostles, teachers, evangelists and pastors.  They are pouring in the oil and the wine. Apostles, pastors and teachers are anointed by God so that they can minister the Spirit. Ministering the Spirit is ministering the oil into the wounds of the hurting people. “He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?” (Galatians 3:5).

“The Good Samaritan did not give excuses when he had to care for “others”. You should listen to the excuses that people give for not caring for “others”. You should listen to the excuses that people give for not reaching out to the lost souls of our world. The Good Samaritan did not give excuses to not stop. He did not say, “Who is that worthless fellow lying on the road side. I am sure he must have done something bad to deserve what happened to him.” Why are we not stopping and helping those who are hurting and dying by the roadside?”“The Good Samaritan risked his life for “others”. He went over and risked his life to save the man. The Good Samaritan could have been attacked by those who attacked the unfortunate passer-by. People do not come to your help because there are always risks involved. People do not go on evangelism because there are risks in travelling to foreign countries. People do not go to the ends of the world because it is safer to stay at home. It is time for you to become like the Good Samaritan who risked his life to minister the oil and the wine. When churches arise and minister the oil and the wine, there will be a great revival and a great blessing for all.

“The Good Samaritan paid the price to care for “others”. The Good Samaritan spent his precious money on “others.”  The Good Samaritan paid the price to save the lost! It will always cost you something to remember “others”. There will always be a price to pay when you want to reach out to “others”. Any kind of evangelism and any kind of outreach will cost you something. When you rise up and pay the price to save the lost, you will have started your ministry to “others”.”

“The Good Samaritan did not pretend that he could not see the problem. May God have mercy on us for seeing our brothers in need as we pass by and pretend that we cannot see. Remembering “others” and helping “others” is walking in the love of God. Remember the second greatest commandment: thou shall love thy neighbour as thyself!
But whoso hath this world’s good, and SEETH HIS BROTHER HAVE NEED, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

1 John 3:17-18
As you read this little book, God is making you aware of the needs of “others”.& Every unsaved person, every blind person, every beggar, every deaf and dumb person, every orphan is a person you are called to help. Do not pass by on the other side as though you cannot see. God is going to use you to touch “others”!”
