Jesus as the Good Samaritan

January 3prev home next

Jesus says:

“I am the Good Samaritan.6 There is no one but Me to have mercy on your wounds and to bend over you, pouring upon them the oil and wine squeezed out of love, without repugnance or weariness.

“In exchange for all the gall and vinegar which you give Me - O men who offend Me in my nature and in my doctrine - I give you the wine of my Blood, squeezed out of my veins as if from a bunch of grapes placed in the wine press - not so much by the crucifiers as by the love for you which put Me into the hands of the crucifiers - and I give you the oil of my Mercy, which flowed from my crushed heart even after death, so that not even my corpse would be free from offense and not a drop of my Blood would be left for Me.

“Satan the thief assaults and wounds you and then abandons you. The world observes and mocks you - if it does not also join Satan to wound you. I alone come and have mercy on your state.

“Do not refuse the Friend who wants to save you. Let yourselves be cared for by Him. Come to the One who loves you.”


6 Luke 10:29-37.
