THE REASON FOR THIS BOOK

Today's reading: Luke 9-10

"...Then Jesus said, Yes, now go and do the same." Luke 10:37 NLT

Jesus had just finished giving the parable of the Good Samaritan.

It was a good story, one that I am sure was captivating in its presentation simply because it was Jesus narrating.

It would have been merely a feel-tale, if at the end of the discourse, Jesus hadn't said these words...

'Now go and do the same.'

Jesus didn't just want them to be entertained. To have just 'heard' His words. To have a great story to add to their next sermon series.

He wanted them to do the same.

Isn't that what the entire context of the Bible is--Doing what it asks.
