Exegesis Of Luke 10: 25-37

Before his crucification and resurrection, it was the standard by which Gods people had to uphold. After that however, the law lost its purpose in that regard and is now used for different purpose. Today it is to convict people

His moral law is never to place his prime goal within the persons of others. His moral obligation is to do what he wishes, provided his wish does not depend

Since John is a good man he does know his commandments. When asked to state his commandments he said,

In the story Jesus replies to the two men saying, “Can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? And be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?” (Mark 10:38). The two men said they could, but Jesus still denied them. King automatically remarks, “Now very quickly, we would automatically condemn James and John, and we would say they were selfish.

His use of the quote from (Matthew 22:36-40) help him accuse the humanity others hold, and how they could allow their ‘neighbor’ to go through such emotional pains and

He said that the Ten Commandments begin with two commandments against idolatry. It is because the fundamental problem in law-breaking is always idolatry. In other words, we never break the other commandments without first

“If our parents corrected us it's not because they hate us, it's because they love us and they don't want us to be destroyed. Jesus is not against the people, He's against the sin which causes us to miss the mark of God.”

The Mosaic Law is very influential on present day law for a number of reasons. During Moses’ time God gave the Ten Commandments to him at Mount Sinai. These commandments or ‘laws’ are designed in a way that guided and molded the way our laws are shaped today. Not only does the look and structure of the Ten Commandments show similarities with our present day law but so do the rules or commandments actually stated. Many of the ‘rules of God’ are comparable to laws we have today.

While in other’s eyes God is just using his power and legalistic ways in a negative way for his people. Lamb explains how through God’s mercy he gives us grace through obedience to his laws he creates. These, “harsh laws”(121), were set aside for the people in the land to follow to have an account to. The creation of these laws was for Israel to have a legal system(122), they were given many laws to follow since they were a nation right out of slavery. Many of these laws were actually a blessing to his people, such as the commandment of the Sabbath day.

The main interpretive implication for the reader of the law codes in Torah and the surrounding narratives is to show us not only how holy God is but that he also desires Israel, his people, to be holy. The law codes show us a way – even though temporarily – a way to dwell with God, and that is the desire of this Holy God – to dwell with his creation. The laws were a temporary way to keep Israel holy, to keep them set apart by providing order for Israel and wisdom for the reader. Unfortunately, while the law codes are good and serve that two-fold purpose, they cannot change the heart of Israel.

In Luke 10:25-37, we find the parable of the Good Samaritan. Hart uses this text, which is unique to Luke, as a template for which we can model our own work in society. As Jesus is telling this heroic story, we are reminded that stereotypes are not to be trusted. Hart went so far as to explain that, “stereotypes are substitutes for getting to know actual people who aren’t essentialist characters” (148). In Jesus’ parable, we would expect people like the priest or a fellow Levite to help the half-dead man, yet it was the Samaritan that sought to help the beaten and struck down.

Many and varied are the interpretations dealing with the teachings and the life of Jesus of Nazareth. But few of these interpretations deal with what the teachings and the life of Jesus have to say to those who stand, at a moment in human history, with their backs against the wall (Thurman, 1949). Jesus was a Jew, meaning he was born visually, culturally, religiously, and ethnically different. Most of world history is man subjugating or discriminating based on appearance (Chapter 1 of “Jesus & The Disinherited”:

Christ begins this parable with the younger son requesting his inheritance. “And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of property that is coming to me.’ And he divided his property between them.” The younger son feels he is free from his father’s authority and embarks on a journey that is filled with reckless behavior that leaves him homeless. It is in this humble state that he reflects on his faith, asks for forgiveness, and is rewarded a king’s welcome upon his return.

Everyone knows the gospels are very important to the Catholic Church, But why? We read them at mass every Sunday so they must have a deeper meaning. Well that’s just it. They teach about Jesus’ life on earth, his death and resurrection. They might differ from each other but that is because they were written by four different authors.

Purpose of law is to live a good life. He believed that man
