A Picture of Christ: Luke 10:33-35
33) But a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion, 34) and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35) On the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return I will repay you.’ Luke 10:33-35
In the last section, I made the statement that the Good Samaritan was a picture of Christ. He was a savior figure. As we examine the text, we discover seven characteristics of the Good Samaritan that paint a picture of Christ
Let me list seven amazing characteristics of the Good Samaritan from the verses.
1. He saw his need 2. He felt compassion 3. He came to him. 4. He healed his wounds 5. He put him on his own beast 6) He paid his bill 7) He aimed at total recovery
I could preach a very convincing and passionate message about Jesus and the gospel from these seven points. The obvious conclusion is that the Good Samaritan filled the role of a Savior figure. He was a picture of Jesus.
Our calling as Christian’s is to go into the world and be imitators of Christ. (See 1 Corinthians 11:1; Ephesians 5:1) We are to go and do the same in Jesus name! This is what it means to love God and love our neighbor.
I can only imagine what would happen if every born- again Christian took imitating the Good Samaritan seriously. What amazing doors would open for the gospel. More about that in the next section.
