"Red Letter Challenge: Serving" | Luke 10: 25-37 In this message, part of our Red Letter Challenge Lenten series, we explore the parable of the Good Samaritan—and whether serving others feels like a "dirty job." A lawyer asked Jesus, "Who is my neighbor?" as if there were people he WASN'T called to love. A man lay beaten and dying on the Jericho road. A priest passed by. A Levite passed by. Too dirty. Too messy. Too much involvement. "It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it... and that someone isn't me." Then came the Samaritan—the unlikely hero who bound wounds, poured oil and wine, paid for the man's care. Jesus asks, "Which one was a neighbor?" But here's the twist: WE are the man dying on the road. And Jesus is our Good Samaritan who got His hands dirty with our sins to save us.🎯 Maybe you've been treating service like a dirty job you'd rather avoid...🎯 Maybe you've passed by on the other side, afraid to get messy or involved...🎯 Maybe it's time to discover that Jesus got dirty with YOUR sins—so you could serve others freely.🗝️ Key Takeaways:✔️ The lawyer's question assumed some people AREN'T our neighbors—Jesus destroys that assumption.✔️ The priest and Levite avoided the "dirty job" of helping—we often do the same.✔️ Jesus is our Good Samaritan who dirtied Himself with our sins so we could be healed and serve.📖 Main Scripture:Luke 10:25-37 (The Good Samaritan)Isaiah 53:5 (By His wounds we are healed)
