the priest and the levite

Luke 10:31-32 (New International Version, ©2010)

31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

these verses flashed in my dream last night. as soon as i was able to get hold of a bible, I looked it up and read it. the whole text talks about the story of the Good Samaritan. well, probably most of us alam naman natin kung ano ang story nun na two people did not even looked at the poor and battered person in that side of the road but a Samaritan, someone doesn't have good reputation nung time na un, was the only one who helped the guy.

Verses 31 and 32 focus on the first two guys who came before the samaritan: a priest and a levite. They're the two guys who did not even bothered to look and help the poor guy nung nakita nila ito. and what do these two guys have in common? both know the law. both know the commandment. both know God. and they did not even bothered to share the love, the kindess and the wonders of God to that guy.

Do we have time to share the gospel to our friends and family? do we have time to share His goodness and mercy to people who are in need? I believe it's a wake up call for us to share His love or whether magiging tulad tau ng levite and priest. it's about time that we take our place in this battle.
