4 SCRIPTURE Luke 10:25-37 (NKJV) The Parable of the Good Samaritan 25 And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 26 He said to him, What is written in the law? What is your reading of it? 27 So he answered and said, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself. 28 And He said to him, You have answered rightly; do this and you will live. 29 But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbor? 30 Then Jesus answered and said: A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side. 33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion. 34 So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you. 36 So which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves? 37 And he said, He who showed mercy on him. Then Jesus said to him, Go and do likewise. LEADER: This is the Word of God CONGREGATION: Thanks Be Unto God 4

6 WE LL UNDERSTAND IT BETTER BY AND BY We are often tossed and driv n on the restless sea of time, Sombre skies and howling tempests oft succeed a bright sunshine, In that land of perfect day, when the mists have rolled away, We will understand it better by and by. Chorus: By and by when the morning comes, When the saints of God are gathered home, We ll tell the story how we ve overcome; For we ll understand it better by and by. We are often destitute of the things that life demands, Want of food and want of shelter thirsty hills and barren lands, We are trusting in the Lord, and according to His word, We will understand it better by and by. Trials dark on every hand, and we cannot understand, All the ways that God would lead us to that blessed Promised Land; But He guides with His eye and we ll follow till we die. For we ll understand it better by and by. Temptations, hidden snares often take us unawares, And our hearts are made to bleed for many a thoughtless word or deed, And we wonder why the test when we try to do our best. But we ll understand it better by and by. 6

7 Every Christian should strive to learn how to be a cheerful giver. When we give what does it actually mean? It simply means we cheerfully give back to God our tithes and offerings.
