Sunday Sermon

In one of his sermons, Martin Luther King Jr. said, “I imagine that the first question which the priest and the Levite asked was: ‘If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?’ But by the very nature of his concern, the Good Samaritan reversed the question: ‘If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?’”

So at the beginning of Acts, with the creation of the early church, Jesus was equipping them with something for the worst times Christianity would face.
