As low as it can go

What do you do when you have nothing left? Your pride has been stripped. You have nothing to offer the world. You are naked and alone.

What do you do when the world has beaten you down and even those you love abandon you, walk by unprepared to get into the mess that you inhabit.

The good Samaritan did this. He did what others wouldn’t. He fed and clothed and cared for another.

We tell this story from the point of the Good Samaritan. We emulate and try to be like him as Jesus instructed. But maybe we are the man beaten on the ground. Maybe we need to be helped.

I need a saviour. I need someone willing to pay the price.

Luke 10: 35 The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’
