Have mercy

Luke 10:33-35

"But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.' "


路 加 福 音 10:33-35

"惟 有 一 個 撒 瑪 利 亞 人 、 行 路 來 到 那 裡 . 看 見 他 就 動 了 慈 心 、 上 前 用 油 和 酒 倒 在 他 的 傷 處 、 包 裹 好 了 、 扶 他 騎 上 自 己 的 牲 口 、 帶 到 店 裡 去 照 應 他 。第 二 天 拿 出 二 錢 銀 子 來 、 交 給 店 主 說 、 你 且 照 應 他 . 此 外 所 費 用 的 、 我 回 來 必 還 你 。
"


This relates to quite an impacting event in mainland China earlier in the year. A child was accidentally knocked down by a truck. After this, there were over 10 passerbys ignoring and failing to do anything to help the child. The child eventually died in the hospital.

As a Christian, what should we do when we see one requires help from others? Have mercy on those who desperately needs help and do our part to spread God's love.
