you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves? And he said, “He who showed mercy on him.” Then Jesus said to him,” “Go and do likewise.” Something special about the parable above is that, therein Jesus gives a clear pattern on how to efficiently helpout the needy. Things that stand out are, 1. Man is wounded, 2. A good Samaritan who wants to help, 3. There is an inn with a willing person to receive whoever comes in, 4. Oil and wine poured as a first aid, 5. Two denarii offered the inn keeper for maintenace of the wounded person, 6. This is concluded as mercy shown. Secondly, a good Samaritan is a chain of likeminded people with a common good, to help and support those in need without seeking to benefit from it. Why is this Innitiative Important? To hear a child cry is equivalent to hearing Jesus cry. In MATTHEW 18:5 Jesus says, “Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receieves Me.”
