A Sign of Contradiction
We tend to overlook the fact that “Samaritan” was almost a term of derision in the time of Jesus. Substitute your own favorite epithet for those whom you do not like (“liberal,” “conservative,” “socialist,” “atheist,” etc.) and hear this gospel reading of the “Good Samaritan” anew. You might be startled at how challenging this parable actually is! This story, then, challenges our assumptions about those in need of care, those who give care, and ultimately even about ourselves! This solid bronze plaque – fashioned by a master bronzesmith in Germany – is a fitting gift indeed to recognize those worthy of honor. But this is also a gift most suited to challenge the givers of the gift, to emulate those who are being honored.
Luke 10:25-37
On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?” He answered: ” ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.'” “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.” But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two silver coins 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.’ “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
