We all want to be good and to do good for others, but sometimes it doesn’t work out. Many places in the bible show where Jesus made us aware that we are all sinners and that we must all try and do good and try and do the right thing. <\/b>(1 John 1, 8: “If we say, \u2018We are without sin,\u2019 we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.”, John 8: “Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone…”)<\/em><\/p>\n In the parable of the Good Samaritan, the Samaritan was the only one who stopped to help the man who was beaten and robbed and left to die. Other religious and “good” people walked by him or didn’t have time to help him. He gave the hurt man medical attention, fed him and carried him to an Inn, paying for food and care until he was healed.<\/b><\/p>\n In that time, Samaritans were a group of people who lived in ancient Samaria, a region north of Jerusalem. <\/span>Jewish people did not look kindly at them for a lot of reasons, so Jewish people and Samaritans would never help each other. In the story, a Priest and a Levite (holy man) passed by the hurt man, refusing to help him because they were afraid of touching something impure. In that time, holy people were not allowed to touch things that were dirty or unclean. They were also afraid of being robbed. The Samaritan however knew that it was the right thing to do, living by God’s word to serve and do good for others.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n What things can you do to be a good Samaritan?<\/strong><\/p>\n Todos queremos ser buenos y hacer el bien a los dem\u00e1s, pero a veces no funciona. Muchos pasajes de la Biblia muestran que Jes\u00fas nos hizo conscientes de que todos somos pecadores y que debemos esforzarnos por hacer el bien y hacer lo correcto. (1 Juan 1, 8: \u00abSi decimos: \u2018Estamos sin pecado\u2019, nos enga\u00f1amos a nosotros mismos, y la verdad no est\u00e1 en nosotros.\u00bb; Juan 8: \u00abEl que est\u00e9 sin pecado, que tire la primera piedra…\u00bb).<\/strong><\/p>\n En la par\u00e1bola del Buen Samaritano, este fue el \u00fanico que se detuvo a ayudar al hombre que fue golpeado, robado y abandonado a su suerte. Otras personas religiosas y \u00abbuenas\u00bb pasaron junto a \u00e9l o no tuvieron tiempo de ayudarlo. \u00c9l le brind\u00f3 atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica, lo aliment\u00f3 y lo llev\u00f3 a una posada, pagando la comida y los cuidados hasta que san\u00f3.<\/strong><\/p>\n En aquella \u00e9poca, los samaritanos eran un grupo de personas que viv\u00edan en la antigua Samaria, una regi\u00f3n al norte de Jerusal\u00e9n. Los jud\u00edos no los ve\u00edan con buenos ojos por muchas razones, as\u00ed que jud\u00edos y samaritanos jam\u00e1s se ayudaban mutuamente. En la historia, un sacerdote y un levita (hombre santo) pasaron junto al hombre herido, neg\u00e1ndose a ayudarlo por miedo a tocar algo impuro. En aquella \u00e9poca, a los santos no se les permit\u00eda tocar cosas sucias o impuras. Tambi\u00e9n tem\u00edan ser robados. Sin embargo, el samaritano sab\u00eda que era lo correcto: vivir seg\u00fan la palabra de Dios para servir y hacer el bien a los dem\u00e1s.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00bfQu\u00e9 cosas puedes hacer para ser un buen samaritano?<\/strong><\/p>\n Am I A Good Samaritan? \/ \u00bfSoy Un Buen Samaritano?
