OT Reading:    Psalm 82

NT Reading:     Luke 10.25-37

Message:          What Must I Do To Inherit Eternal Life?

This Sunday, the Lectionary places before us a very familiar parable; The Parable of The Good Samaritan.  This is one of most well-known parables of Jesus, so much so that a “Good Samaritan” is an idiom for someone who is sacrificially kind. However, though the parable is very well know by Christians and non-Christians alike, the main point is usually missed.  For most, the story is about helping someone in need, but that’s not the point.  The point is about how one inherits eternal life.  It’s the answer to the question put to Jesus by an expert in the law who said to Jesus, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”  This message seeks to unpack the answer Jesus gives.
