Question
15th SUNDAY in ORDINARY TIME
Luke 10:25-37
There are two very important questions in this gospel reading:
1. How do we inherit eternal life?
2. Who is our neighbor?
A scholar of the law asked these two questions to Jesus.
Jesus threw back the first question but He went to tell a story in order to answer the second question.
Indeed we cannot inherit eternal life unless we love.
God is love and we cannot be reunited with Him if we are devoid of love.
Next, we shall love our neighbor as ourselves.
So who is our neighbor?
With the Parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus gives the answer.
It is anyone who is in need.
