What is a soul worth when measured against the whole world? We take that piercing question and walk the ancient road from Jerusalem to Jericho, where a wounded traveler forces us to decide whether we will cross the street or cross the line into compassion. Guided by the parable of the Good Samaritan and the command to love God with all we are and our neighbors as ourselves, we explore how eternal life is not only a belief to affirm but a way to live—one choice, one interruption, one act of mercy at a time.

Together, we unpack why Jesus chose a Samaritan as the hero and what that means for our labels, loyalties, and blind spots. We talk about compassion as the character of God and how a softened heart often precedes surprising works of healing and renewal. From oil and wine on open wounds to an open-ended promise to cover future costs, we trace how radical generosity mirrors Christ’s commitment to pay debts we cannot see. The message challenges us to resist the temptation to look respectable while passing by, and instead to build a witness grounded in service that costs us time, money, and comfort.

You’ll hear practical ways to “go and do likewise”: create margin to help, carry resources that heal, and return to finish what you start. We connect mercy with evangelism, showing how tangible care speaks louder than arguments and invites people to trust the God we serve.

SPEAKER_00:

Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. We bring to you good tidings, cavalry greetings, and the living word of God. We pray for his abundant blessings for all our listeners in the name of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Amen. Our Lord Jesus Christ asked his disciples in the book of Matthew, chapter 8, verses 35 and 36. Matthew 8, verses 35 and 36. What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul? What will a man give in exchange for his soul? This is how important spending everlasting life in the presence of God is. I pray that God in his message will help us not to miss this golden opportunity. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Our merciful Father and our God, we appreciate the grace to once again lay at your feet. It's only the living that can serve you. Thank you for counting us amongst the living. In your world today, Lord, please inspire us to bring out of us the good Samaritan man at every opportunity granted to us to do so to our neighbors. Every act of selfishness and ungodly that we must have exhibited in the past against your children and our neighbors that you have sent us to. Please, Lord, let our life receive pardon and total forgiveness today. Our goal of making everlasting life, we will not miss it. Thank you for your mercy and grace over our lives. In Jesus' mighty name, we have prayed. Amen. The topic of our message is inheriting everlasting life. Inheriting everlasting life. Luke 10, verses 25 to 37. And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said to him, What is written in the law? What is your reading of it? So he answered and said, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself. And he said to him, You have answered rightly, do this, and you will live. But he wanted to justify himself, said to Jesus, and who is my neighbor? Jesus answered and said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. Now, by chance a certain priest came down the road, and when he saw him, he passed by the other side. Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked and passed by the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn and took care of him. On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denari, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you. So, which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves? And he said, He who showed mercy on him. Then Jesus said to him, Go and do likewise. Brethren, the injured man was ignored by a priest and a Levite. But the Samaritan, despite historical animosity between their people, cared for him, took him to an inn and paid for his recovery. Let's look at who were the Samaritans. Everyone would have expected a Jew to be the hero of Jesus' story. It is therefore shocking to hear that it is a Samaritan. It is only by understanding this reality that the powerful message of the parable comes true. We must learn that enemies can prove to be neighbors, that compassion has no boundaries, and that judging people on the basis of their religion or ethnicity will leave us dying in a ditch. Compassion is a character of God. In the book of Matthew, chapter 20, verse 34. Matthew 20, verse 34. The Bible says, So Jesus had compassion and touched their eyes, and immediately the eyes received sight, and they followed him with compassion. You too can run miracles and win souls for Christ. Many have potential for prophetic healing powers, but may never discover it because their heart in their heart are never moved by people's precarious situations. Many with their heart of compassion will call upon God in faith, and miracles will happen. God never disappoint anyone with a golden heart. Many people who set out on genuine philanthropic missions never knew God will achieve so much through them. This Samaritan did not only pay the bill of the victim, he gave an open promise that even the balance of the treatment cost that has not been known, he will come back to pay. He committed beyond what was in his pocket at that moment. This was what Jesus Christ did for us as sinners. He committed to pay for the sins of evil generations unborn. This is what makes a Christian being Christ-like. The lessons we can take away from this is that we should not allow the way people see us or treat us to affect our attitudes and character. When God will ask for the account of our stewardship, excuses of how others see us or have treated us will not be tenable. It won't kill you, no? If you refuse, however, believe me, God will send another person to do it. This is how to make our society better and encourage others to believe in God that we serve. This is how we can evangelize. May God empower us and strengthen our obedience to our God who has commanded that we should go and do likewise. Amen. Want to thank you for your interest and patience in listening to this broadcast.
