25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?” 27 He answered, “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’ and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 28“You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.” 29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 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. 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denariie 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.’ 36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbour to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” 37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.” This is a really good story because it relates exacty to our topic. The this relates to our topic because he gets hurt and then 2 people, including a priest, walk pat leaving him there to suffer and then a man who you would think would just walk past because he was a different religion than the man that got bashed but he helped him at the same time. He took the time to to clean him and do it for nothing but a huge thanks. 41Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. 42But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents. 43Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. 44They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”
I really like this because it says that even though a person who cant even provide for themselves donated to someone as wealthy as Jesus so he can live better. I think it is a really big eye opener for the people who have it all and barely put in anything and the people who have nothing and give all they have. Today Alanah, Jess, Tom, Alex, Ryley and I went to Riddell creek garden age care facility. It was very quite and calm. At first I was very nervous but after I started to talk to some people I got more comfortable with talking to them, I was able to talk to more people. We went to the part of the home where the people there had dementia and they forgot a lot of thing s really quickly. They were all so tired and quiet. but at the same time they were lovely and kind and made sure we had everything.
The lady I was talking to, she asked me the same question a lot and I had to keep the same answer over and over again. When teatime came around, they gave out biscuits and the lady I was talking to gave me a biscuit. I then needed a drink and I went and asked for one. when I came back she had gotten out = other biscuit and she split it in half and gave me the bigger half. She barely got any of her 2 biscuits and I got more. Because she offered it to me I didn't have the heart to no. I think it was a really god experience for them and for me. I Think it was good for them to talk to someone other than the other people who live there and the people who work there. I really think it was good for me to see other people in my community.
