Parable in Action: The Good Samaritan
(Author Unknown)
Tim Hansel tells of a seminary professor who set up his preaching class in
an unusual way. He scheduled his students to preach on The Good Samaritan.
One by one they were to go from classroom to classroom, preaching love and
compassion for others. Some students had 10 minutes between classes, but
others had less time, which forced them to rush in order to meet the
schedule. Each of the students had to walk down a certain corridor and
pass by a "beggar" who had been deliberately "planted" there by the
professor.
What happened was a powerful lesson! The number of would-be-preachers who
stopped to help this man was extremely low, especially those who were
under the pressure of time! Rushing to preach their sermon on The Good
Samaritan, they all walked right past the beggar at the heart of the
parable!
Today I read again these words: "I was hungry and you formed a humanities
club to discuss it. I was imprisoned, but you just complained about the
crime rate. I was naked, and you debated the morality of my appearance. I
was sick and you thanked God for your health. I was homeless and you
preached to me about the shelter of God's love. You seem so holy and so
close to God; but I'm still hungry, lonely, cold and in pain. Does it
matter?"
