The Good Samaritan Jesus and the Inn
In the story of the Good Samaritan, Jesus is ultimately that Samaritan. The wounded is the world. The inn is the church. The Good Samaritan (we'll get in2 the significance of being a Samaritan at another time) rescues and takes care of a wounded man, robbed and beaten by Satan and those He uses no doubt to steal, kill and destroy. He picks up the stranger and takes Him to the inn. While there, the Samaritan stays with the wounded to help him get better for one day or a season. He then gives money and asks the Inn to finish the care while He goes away and when He returns, if more money was paid out, He will repay any extra used for the care. The latter part of the story, where the Inn takes #responsibility for the care of the wounded; the least, is picked up in Math 25 and the story of the 3 servants; one w/ 5, one w/ 2, and one w/ 1.
This is that season of the inn or the #sons/church to finish healing/changing all creation and taking #responsibility as we wait for the return of our Good Samaritan Savior, Jesus, that rescued us and saved us that were wounded. And we all were wounded, but the complete healing comes by faith and gratitude (see the story of the ten lepers). It is not the universal season of being wounded or of Jesus doing all the care, though He's always here.
But now we that were healed are called to help others until they are mature and perfect wanting nothing. We have been given grace and abilities to start. We are to exchange them to get more to finish the job which is to save creation and make it as Heaven on Earth. God will return and give us back all we have given to aid and much more.
We can change the world. Nay. We will change the world. Even more so. I have changed the world and will not stop until I see what I saw. Join me if you have not already. It is the era of #love and #responsibility.
Amen.
