00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.940
 I did the bare minimum required.

00:00:04.820 --> 00:00:07.219
 I just scraped through.

00:00:07.219 --> 00:00:12.620
 You know, picture the builder who builds a project, a house or a work,

00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:18.000
 and only does it well enough to get the job done, to get paid,

00:00:18.339 --> 00:00:20.940
 but they don't build it so that it lasts.

00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:25.839
 It's the person that goes to work and they clock in on the dot.

00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:30.940
 But they only do enough in the day to not get fired,

00:00:31.140 --> 00:00:34.039
 and then they clock out as soon as they can.

00:00:34.519 --> 00:00:37.840
 It's the person that's fearful of getting in trouble,

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:41.299
 so they just obey the letter of the law.

00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:46.659
 It's me, in my first degree, living by the motto,

00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:51.240
 P's get degrees, which says passing is enough.

00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:55.519
 Doing the bare minimum required.

00:00:56.500 --> 00:00:58.260
 That's definitely been me in the past.

00:00:58.780 --> 00:01:00.120
 Has that been you?

00:01:01.300 --> 00:01:07.260
 It's definitely easier in the moment to just do the minimum that's required

00:01:07.260 --> 00:01:10.780
 out of laziness or something like that,

00:01:10.880 --> 00:01:13.600
 but it's certainly not satisfying.

00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:17.320
 I regret not working harder on my first degree.

00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:24.419
 I'm sure the builder regrets putting the minimum effort when they have to go back and fix up,

00:01:24.919 --> 00:01:28.679
 you know, when the building falls down or when cracks start appearing.

00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:33.199
 It's the tech company that regrets putting out a product too early

00:01:33.199 --> 00:01:36.919
 and then having to recall and fix issues.

00:01:38.500 --> 00:01:42.839
 I wonder if we could use the same description of our lives.

00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:49.020
 If you're following Jesus, would you say that you are a bare minimum Christian?

00:01:50.219 --> 00:01:51.439
 I go to church.

00:01:51.900 --> 00:01:53.460
 I watch church.

00:01:54.180 --> 00:01:56.060
 I give some.

00:01:56.060 --> 00:02:00.579
 I have a Bible and I've read parts of it.

00:02:01.820 --> 00:02:07.939
 But serving Jesus, growing in godliness, being part of a community, being radically generous,

00:02:08.500 --> 00:02:12.099
 those things are hard and they're not for me right now.

00:02:12.099 --> 00:02:18.199
 The challenge that we see from the story of the Good Samaritan today

00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:22.299
 is that we can be tempted to give the bare minimum,

00:02:22.939 --> 00:02:29.319
 to narrow down what following Jesus looks like into a little easy-to-follow box

00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:33.639
 instead of seeing Jesus as Lord of our entire life.

00:02:34.219 --> 00:02:39.000
 The joy of Christianity is that Jesus has saved people

00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:41.359
 and he calls them to be radical disciples.

00:02:42.099 --> 00:02:44.799
 Not bare minimum disciples.

00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:52.019
 The call of hope in Jesus is that our discipleship and giving of ourselves

00:02:52.019 --> 00:02:55.699
 would reflect all that God has done for us.

00:02:56.379 --> 00:02:59.680
 So we're going to see this morning a picture of bare minimum disciples.

00:03:00.299 --> 00:03:05.620
 Jesus will give us a bad example and then he will give us a good example.

00:03:06.139 --> 00:03:09.519
 We're in the Gospel of Luke this morning in chapter 10.

00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:12.200
 Please have your Bibles open at home.

00:03:12.700 --> 00:03:14.300
 Be using the St. Paul's app.

00:03:14.380 --> 00:03:18.360
 There are notes in there so that you can take notes along as we go.

00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:26.939
 From Luke chapter 10, where he records an expert in the law getting up and testing Jesus.

00:03:28.040 --> 00:03:29.480
 He asked in verse 25,

00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:35.099
 Jesus asks him,

00:03:35.179 --> 00:03:38.560
 Well, what's written in the law in the Old Testament?

00:03:39.060 --> 00:03:40.060
 How do you read it?

00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:41.839
 And the man replies,

00:03:42.679 --> 00:03:47.500
 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength

00:03:47.500 --> 00:03:51.139
 and with all your mind and love your neighbor as yourself.

00:03:51.139 --> 00:03:52.639
 Jesus said,

00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:53.559
 You've answered correctly.

00:03:53.799 --> 00:03:55.259
 Do this and you will live.

00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:57.839
 It's a pretty straightforward interaction.

00:03:58.559 --> 00:03:59.659
 Love God perfectly.

00:04:00.139 --> 00:04:01.279
 Love your neighbor perfectly.

00:04:01.739 --> 00:04:03.779
 And you will get eternal life.

00:04:04.679 --> 00:04:07.539
 Now, I say that kind of sarcastically because,

00:04:07.959 --> 00:04:10.079
 of course, this is impossible for us.

00:04:10.519 --> 00:04:13.679
 And it shows us why we need Jesus so much.

00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:16.979
 But the lawyer wanted to justify himself.

00:04:17.939 --> 00:04:22.879
 Maybe he's trying to protect himself from the claim that he doesn't deserve eternal life.

00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:26.439
 And this is definitely in the soul of each of us.

00:04:26.580 --> 00:04:31.120
 The desire to protect ourselves, to defend our actions.

00:04:31.580 --> 00:04:31.860
 To say,

00:04:31.939 --> 00:04:33.400
 Oh, look, I'm not that bad.

00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:35.600
 You know, I'm not as bad as other people.

00:04:36.460 --> 00:04:38.720
 Look, there's people that are far worse than me.

00:04:39.420 --> 00:04:42.700
 And this lawyer wanted to justify himself.

00:04:42.900 --> 00:04:43.920
 So he asks Jesus,

00:04:44.100 --> 00:04:45.840
 Well, who is my neighbor?

00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:47.659
 Father, give me a list.

00:04:48.539 --> 00:04:53.099
 You give me a list of the neighbors and I'll show you how much I have loved them.

00:04:53.919 --> 00:04:57.239
 Now, I know three or four lawyers.

00:04:57.859 --> 00:05:00.179
 And unlike the standard jokes about lawyers,

00:05:00.500 --> 00:05:02.579
 the lawyers I know are all very lovely people.

00:05:03.479 --> 00:05:04.359
 They're really great.

00:05:04.799 --> 00:05:07.259
 And this man, he might have been really lovely.

00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:09.279
 He may have been really great as well.

00:05:09.739 --> 00:05:11.239
 He may have been an upstanding citizen.

00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:15.000
 He may have been kind and compassionate.

00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:22.420
 But maybe he was just kind and compassionate to the people who fitted his definition of neighbor.

00:05:22.420 --> 00:05:24.860
 If you were like him,

00:05:25.080 --> 00:05:27.720
 if you were part of the same tribe as him,

00:05:27.819 --> 00:05:28.400
 if you were,

00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:30.500
 if you looked like him and smelt like him,

00:05:30.580 --> 00:05:31.020
 well, do you know what?

00:05:31.060 --> 00:05:31.800
 He would love you.

00:05:31.860 --> 00:05:33.439
 He would show compassion to you.

00:05:34.780 --> 00:05:37.740
 And so wanting to make sure that he was above that claim,

00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:39.220
 that he had not fulfilled the law,

00:05:39.280 --> 00:05:39.759
 he asks,

00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:41.020
 Well, who is my neighbor?

00:05:41.019 --> 00:05:45.599
 This is the desire to just do the bare minimum.

00:05:46.419 --> 00:05:48.279
 Limit the people I need to love, Jesus,

00:05:48.539 --> 00:05:49.719
 and I will love them.

00:05:50.159 --> 00:05:53.159
 You tell me who these handful of people are that are my neighbor,

00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:54.159
 and I can do that.

00:05:55.099 --> 00:05:55.779
 But in response,

00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:58.939
 Jesus tells us the famous story of the Good Samaritan.

00:05:59.240 --> 00:05:59.939
 And first of all,

00:05:59.959 --> 00:06:01.799
 he shows us the bad example

00:06:01.799 --> 00:06:04.099
 before he shows us the good example.

00:06:04.299 --> 00:06:06.459
 Have a look with me at verse 30.

00:06:06.459 --> 00:06:09.719
 In reply, Jesus said,

00:06:10.379 --> 00:06:13.219
 A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho

00:06:13.219 --> 00:06:15.159
 when he was attacked by robbers.

00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:17.319
 They stripped him of his clothes,

00:06:17.479 --> 00:06:17.959
 beat him,

00:06:18.060 --> 00:06:18.879
 and went away,

00:06:19.039 --> 00:06:20.399
 leaving him half dead.

00:06:21.299 --> 00:06:22.039
 This man,

00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:24.079
 although not specifically stated here,

00:06:24.179 --> 00:06:26.019
 it's most likely that he was Jewish.

00:06:26.579 --> 00:06:28.939
 He's coming down from Jerusalem,

00:06:29.359 --> 00:06:31.219
 likely from the temple,

00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:34.259
 and maybe he had been worshipping God

00:06:34.259 --> 00:06:35.560
 and bringing sacrifices.

00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:37.800
 And as he's coming down,

00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:39.540
 he is waylaid by bandits.

00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:40.680
 He's beaten,

00:06:40.819 --> 00:06:41.459
 he's robbed.

00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:43.959
 And this is no fault of his own.

00:06:44.060 --> 00:06:45.319
 It's a total accident.

00:06:45.939 --> 00:06:47.079
 He could not be blamed.

00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:48.939
 It was just misfortune.

00:06:49.840 --> 00:06:50.800
 But good news,

00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:51.879
 salvation comes.

00:06:52.220 --> 00:06:52.920
 Verse 31,

00:06:53.379 --> 00:06:56.100
 a priest happened to be going down the same road.

00:06:56.980 --> 00:06:57.879
 And at this point,

00:06:57.920 --> 00:06:59.920
 we can be expecting the priest is going to help out.

00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:01.120
 He's a compassionate guy.

00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:02.980
 And when he saw the man,

00:07:03.340 --> 00:07:06.139
 he passed by on the other side.

00:07:07.420 --> 00:07:08.379
 So to a Levite,

00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:08.720
 yes,

00:07:08.840 --> 00:07:09.079
 great,

00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:09.860
 a Levite.

00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:11.259
 He's going to help him out.

00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:13.620
 When he came to the place and saw him,

00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:17.060
 he passed by on the other side.

00:07:18.340 --> 00:07:20.620
 How did this priest and this Levite

00:07:20.620 --> 00:07:22.519
 happen to be on the same road?

00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:26.399
 It's as if God has brought this priest

00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:27.759
 to this very spot

00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:28.859
 to help this man,

00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:32.000
 to go and see what his needs are.

00:07:32.299 --> 00:07:33.359
 And then a moment later,

00:07:33.359 --> 00:07:34.599
 when the Levite arrives,

00:07:34.779 --> 00:07:35.879
 they can both help him.

00:07:36.159 --> 00:07:38.019
 Maybe they can carry him to an inn,

00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:38.740
 to a hospital.

00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:41.259
 Maybe one can stay with him

00:07:41.259 --> 00:07:41.919
 and guard him

00:07:41.919 --> 00:07:43.099
 while the other goes off

00:07:43.099 --> 00:07:44.439
 to get medical assistance.

00:07:45.479 --> 00:07:47.099
 And Jesus tells this story

00:07:47.099 --> 00:07:50.259
 as if God has brought both of these men

00:07:50.259 --> 00:07:51.680
 to care for this person.

00:07:52.599 --> 00:07:55.519
 But they both willfully refuse

00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:57.139
 to give aid.

00:07:58.099 --> 00:07:59.399
 And it's far worse

00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:01.579
 than if they had just found the man.

00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:04.980
 But Jesus uses their identities

00:08:04.980 --> 00:08:06.219
 and the location

00:08:06.219 --> 00:08:08.439
 to show what a bad example they are.

00:08:09.339 --> 00:08:10.620
 In Jesus' story,

00:08:10.779 --> 00:08:12.800
 both the man who was attacked

00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:14.500
 and the priest and the Levite,

00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:15.879
 they're coming down

00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:17.740
 from Jerusalem to Jericho.

00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:18.620
 Jerusalem,

00:08:18.620 --> 00:08:21.160
 this is the capital city of Israel.

00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:22.759
 It's up high.

00:08:23.379 --> 00:08:24.139
 It's the location

00:08:24.139 --> 00:08:25.319
 of where the temple is,

00:08:25.579 --> 00:08:27.980
 whereas Jericho lies quite low.

00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:30.480
 The purpose of the priest

00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:32.259
 being in Jerusalem

00:08:32.259 --> 00:08:33.399
 would have been

00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:36.039
 for offering service to God.

00:08:36.139 --> 00:08:36.799
 He would have been

00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:37.960
 working in the temple.

00:08:38.500 --> 00:08:39.440
 He could have been

00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:41.320
 bringing sacrifices.

00:08:41.560 --> 00:08:42.419
 He could have been

00:08:42.419 --> 00:08:43.860
 praising God,

00:08:44.700 --> 00:08:46.360
 singing holy psalms

00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:47.279
 and prayers.

00:08:48.340 --> 00:08:49.680
 And in the midst

00:08:49.680 --> 00:08:50.940
 of worshipping God

00:08:50.940 --> 00:08:52.300
 and bringing sacrifices,

00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:54.800
 he had not learned

00:08:54.800 --> 00:08:56.680
 how to make a sacrifice himself.

00:08:57.320 --> 00:08:58.000
 He had learned

00:08:58.000 --> 00:08:58.800
 the same message

00:08:58.800 --> 00:08:59.320
 as the lawyer

00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:00.320
 to love God

00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:01.779
 and to love his neighbour,

00:09:02.300 --> 00:09:04.480
 but he did not act upon it.

00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:06.860
 The Levite acted similarly,

00:09:07.060 --> 00:09:08.860
 although not central

00:09:08.860 --> 00:09:10.600
 to the work inside the temple.

00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:12.240
 they both had been

00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:13.399
 near to God,

00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:14.920
 but had not

00:09:14.920 --> 00:09:16.759
 become like God.

00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:19.279
 Both of these men

00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:19.899
 were bound

00:09:19.899 --> 00:09:21.580
 to help the beaten man,

00:09:22.139 --> 00:09:22.680
 and yet

00:09:22.680 --> 00:09:24.440
 they came close enough

00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:25.320
 to see him

00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:25.800
 and yet

00:09:25.800 --> 00:09:27.100
 passed him by.

00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:28.620
 They've

00:09:28.620 --> 00:09:29.620
 slowed down

00:09:29.620 --> 00:09:30.040
 at the site

00:09:30.040 --> 00:09:30.940
 of a car accident

00:09:30.940 --> 00:09:32.159
 with people crying out

00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:32.720
 for help.

00:09:33.060 --> 00:09:34.000
 There's no one around,

00:09:34.139 --> 00:09:34.960
 but they have

00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:35.980
 driven off.

00:09:35.980 --> 00:09:38.920
 Charles Spurgeon,

00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:39.879
 the great preacher,

00:09:40.580 --> 00:09:41.840
 suggested that the reason

00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:42.980
 that they hurried on

00:09:42.980 --> 00:09:44.200
 and didn't help

00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:45.500
 was because they had

00:09:45.500 --> 00:09:47.300
 too many great excuses.

00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:48.480
 I've got a quote

00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:49.159
 from Spurgeon.

00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:51.340
 He said,

00:09:51.340 --> 00:09:52.560
 I never knew a man

00:09:52.560 --> 00:09:53.300
 to refuse

00:09:53.300 --> 00:09:54.360
 to help the poor

00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:56.019
 who failed to give

00:09:56.019 --> 00:09:57.139
 at least one

00:09:57.139 --> 00:09:58.560
 admirable excuse.

00:09:59.080 --> 00:09:59.759
 For instance,

00:10:00.040 --> 00:10:01.180
 the priest and the Levite

00:10:01.180 --> 00:10:02.180
 were both in a hurry.

00:10:02.899 --> 00:10:03.600
 The priest had been

00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:04.580
 away for a month,

00:10:04.740 --> 00:10:05.580
 away at Jerusalem

00:10:05.580 --> 00:10:06.360
 from his wife

00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:07.420
 and dear children,

00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:09.000
 and he naturally

00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:09.960
 wanted to get home.

00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:11.259
 If he lingered,

00:10:11.340 --> 00:10:12.580
 the sun might go down.

00:10:13.139 --> 00:10:13.980
 It was an awkward

00:10:13.980 --> 00:10:15.259
 place to be

00:10:15.259 --> 00:10:16.400
 after sundown,

00:10:16.540 --> 00:10:17.160
 and he could not

00:10:17.160 --> 00:10:18.200
 expect him to be

00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:19.360
 so imprudent

00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:20.280
 as to stay

00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:21.459
 in a lone place

00:10:21.459 --> 00:10:22.279
 with darkness

00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:22.860
 coming on.

00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:24.459
 He'd spent a very

00:10:24.459 --> 00:10:25.399
 laborious month

00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:26.079
 in the temple,

00:10:26.319 --> 00:10:27.179
 and you do not know

00:10:27.179 --> 00:10:27.899
 how exhausting

00:10:27.899 --> 00:10:28.879
 he had found it

00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:30.059
 to act as a priest

00:10:30.059 --> 00:10:30.879
 for a whole month.

00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:32.360
 And if you did,

00:10:32.419 --> 00:10:33.399
 you would not blame him

00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:34.480
 for wanting to get home

00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:36.259
 to enjoy a little rest.

00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:37.399
 Besides,

00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:38.220
 he'd promised

00:10:38.220 --> 00:10:39.139
 he'd be home

00:10:39.139 --> 00:10:40.079
 at a certain hour,

00:10:40.299 --> 00:10:41.100
 and he was a man

00:10:41.100 --> 00:10:42.019
 of punctuality,

00:10:42.839 --> 00:10:44.319
 and would by no means

00:10:44.319 --> 00:10:45.439
 cause anxiety

00:10:45.439 --> 00:10:46.179
 to his wife

00:10:46.179 --> 00:10:46.720
 and children

00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:47.500
 who would be

00:10:47.500 --> 00:10:48.299
 looking for him

00:10:48.299 --> 00:10:50.259
 on their house stop.

00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:51.479
 The thieves

00:10:51.479 --> 00:10:52.399
 might be back again.

00:10:52.659 --> 00:10:53.319
 They were scarcely

00:10:53.319 --> 00:10:53.959
 out of hearing,

00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:55.679
 and after a month's service,

00:10:55.779 --> 00:10:56.399
 the priest would have

00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:57.339
 had some fees

00:10:57.339 --> 00:10:57.959
 in his purse,

00:10:58.379 --> 00:10:59.319
 and it was important

00:10:59.319 --> 00:11:00.859
 not to run the risk

00:11:00.859 --> 00:11:02.059
 of losing the support

00:11:02.059 --> 00:11:03.059
 of his family.

00:11:04.099 --> 00:11:04.779
 And he might be

00:11:04.779 --> 00:11:05.479
 wounded too,

00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:06.519
 and then there would be

00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:07.699
 two people

00:11:07.699 --> 00:11:08.500
 half dead,

00:11:08.819 --> 00:11:09.620
 and one of them

00:11:09.620 --> 00:11:11.519
 a valuable clergyman.

00:11:12.319 --> 00:11:12.719
 Really,

00:11:13.579 --> 00:11:15.079
 philanthropy would suggest

00:11:15.079 --> 00:11:16.379
 that you take care

00:11:16.379 --> 00:11:17.019
 of yourself,

00:11:17.899 --> 00:11:18.539
 as you could not

00:11:18.539 --> 00:11:19.539
 possibly do any good

00:11:19.539 --> 00:11:20.360
 to the poor man.

00:11:21.439 --> 00:11:22.379
 And then the man

00:11:22.379 --> 00:11:22.980
 might die,

00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:23.860
 and the person

00:11:23.860 --> 00:11:24.620
 found near the body

00:11:24.620 --> 00:11:25.379
 might be charged

00:11:25.379 --> 00:11:25.960
 with the murder,

00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:27.159
 and it's always awkward

00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:28.559
 to be found alone

00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:29.700
 in a dark spot

00:11:29.700 --> 00:11:30.559
 with the corpse

00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:31.740
 of one who was

00:11:31.740 --> 00:11:32.620
 evidently suffered

00:11:32.620 --> 00:11:33.639
 from foul play.

00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:34.779
 Moreover,

00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:35.700
 he could pray

00:11:35.700 --> 00:11:36.360
 for the man.

00:11:37.379 --> 00:11:38.740
 All these powerful

00:11:38.740 --> 00:11:40.379
 reasons put together

00:11:40.379 --> 00:11:41.519
 made him content

00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:42.860
 to save trouble

00:11:42.860 --> 00:11:44.539
 and leave the doing

00:11:44.539 --> 00:11:45.299
 of kindness

00:11:45.299 --> 00:11:46.259
 to others.

00:11:47.860 --> 00:11:49.519
 This is a big list

00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:50.179
 of excuses.

00:11:50.899 --> 00:11:52.299
 It may have made you

00:11:52.299 --> 00:11:53.659
 smile a little bit

00:11:53.659 --> 00:11:55.399
 at the poor excuses

00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:56.199
 that the priest

00:11:56.199 --> 00:11:56.899
 may have given.

00:11:57.659 --> 00:11:58.059
 But you know what?

00:11:58.059 --> 00:11:58.519
 That's me.

00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:00.379
 All I need

00:12:00.379 --> 00:12:01.759
 is a small excuse

00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:02.699
 to justify

00:12:02.699 --> 00:12:04.279
 not helping someone.

00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:05.679
 They're fine.

00:12:06.079 --> 00:12:06.740
 Someone else

00:12:06.740 --> 00:12:07.559
 is going to help them.

00:12:07.699 --> 00:12:07.819
 You know,

00:12:07.839 --> 00:12:08.759
 I can hear the Levite

00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:09.059
 coming.

00:12:09.219 --> 00:12:10.139
 He's going to help them.

00:12:10.199 --> 00:12:11.000
 Somebody else will do it.

00:12:11.179 --> 00:12:12.379
 I don't need to do it.

00:12:12.379 --> 00:12:14.799
 But hope

00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:15.879
 in the gospel

00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:17.419
 calls us

00:12:17.419 --> 00:12:18.100
 to radically

00:12:18.100 --> 00:12:19.980
 love others.

00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:22.700
 Jesus contrasts

00:12:22.700 --> 00:12:23.159
 the story

00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:23.759
 of the priest

00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:24.659
 and the Levite

00:12:24.659 --> 00:12:25.980
 with a good example.

00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:27.379
 One they wouldn't

00:12:27.379 --> 00:12:27.939
 expect

00:12:27.939 --> 00:12:29.379
 to see help from.

00:12:29.659 --> 00:12:30.559
 So this is our third point

00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:30.919
 this morning.

00:12:31.019 --> 00:12:32.000
 This is the good example.

00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:33.340
 From verse 33.

00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:35.960
 But a Samaritan

00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:37.879
 as he travelled

00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:39.580
 came where

00:12:39.580 --> 00:12:40.639
 the man was.

00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:42.399
 And when he saw him

00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:43.340
 he took pity on him.

00:12:43.539 --> 00:12:44.220
 He went to him

00:12:44.220 --> 00:12:45.340
 and bandaged his wounds

00:12:45.340 --> 00:12:46.279
 pouring on oil

00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:46.840
 and wine.

00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:47.779
 Then he put the man

00:12:47.779 --> 00:12:48.620
 on his own donkey

00:12:48.620 --> 00:12:50.100
 brought him to an inn

00:12:50.100 --> 00:12:51.080
 and took care of him.

00:12:51.819 --> 00:12:52.419
 The next day

00:12:52.419 --> 00:12:52.960
 he took out

00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:54.019
 two denarii

00:12:54.019 --> 00:12:55.080
 and gave them

00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:55.799
 to the innkeeper.

00:12:56.340 --> 00:12:57.139
 Look after him

00:12:57.139 --> 00:12:57.639
 he said

00:12:57.639 --> 00:12:58.819
 and when I return

00:12:58.819 --> 00:13:00.039
 I will reimburse you

00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:01.720
 for any extra expenses

00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:02.580
 you may have.

00:13:03.419 --> 00:13:04.240
 The Samaritan

00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:05.419
 was as different

00:13:05.419 --> 00:13:06.439
 as the priest

00:13:06.439 --> 00:13:07.319
 and the Levite

00:13:07.319 --> 00:13:08.279
 were similar

00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:09.620
 to the wounded man.

00:13:09.620 --> 00:13:11.460
 They were enemies

00:13:11.460 --> 00:13:12.320
 of the Jews

00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:13.519
 because they had been

00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:14.679
 part of God's people

00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:16.679
 but they had been

00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:18.200
 separated to the north

00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:19.500
 and their country

00:13:19.500 --> 00:13:20.100
 had been filled

00:13:20.100 --> 00:13:21.000
 with Gentiles

00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:22.259
 and other people's gods

00:13:22.259 --> 00:13:23.659
 and they worshipped

00:13:23.659 --> 00:13:24.820
 God differently.

00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:26.480
 And yet

00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:28.179
 the Samaritans

00:13:28.179 --> 00:13:28.960
 seized him

00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:30.679
 like the priest

00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:31.580
 and the Levite did

00:13:31.580 --> 00:13:33.680
 and took pity on him.

00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:35.440
 He doesn't ask

00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:37.500
 why are you injured?

00:13:37.500 --> 00:13:39.200
 He doesn't ask

00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:40.059
 well what have you done

00:13:40.059 --> 00:13:41.480
 to get out of this situation?

00:13:42.340 --> 00:13:43.539
 There's no inquiry

00:13:43.539 --> 00:13:44.559
 into his faith.

00:13:45.019 --> 00:13:46.220
 There is no questioning

00:13:46.220 --> 00:13:48.279
 of his political viewpoints.

00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:50.840
 He sees the wounded man

00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:53.139
 and he takes pity.

00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:55.740
 Although the wounded man

00:13:55.740 --> 00:13:56.620
 had no way

00:13:56.620 --> 00:13:57.600
 to repay him

00:13:57.600 --> 00:13:58.559
 the Samaritan

00:13:58.559 --> 00:13:59.299
 went over

00:13:59.299 --> 00:14:00.240
 and cared for him.

00:14:00.779 --> 00:14:01.539
 He doesn't say

00:14:01.539 --> 00:14:02.440
 I'll help you

00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:04.080
 as long as you pay me back.

00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:05.840
 There is no contract

00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:06.440
 or deal

00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:07.560
 just

00:14:07.560 --> 00:14:08.860
 compassion.

00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:10.720
 He bandaged

00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:11.920
 his wounds

00:14:11.920 --> 00:14:13.460
 poured on oil

00:14:13.460 --> 00:14:14.240
 and wine.

00:14:14.680 --> 00:14:15.840
 He risks the thieves

00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:16.660
 coming back

00:14:16.660 --> 00:14:17.960
 and his own life

00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:18.920
 being in danger.

00:14:19.800 --> 00:14:20.639
 He does it

00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:22.300
 at significant cost

00:14:22.300 --> 00:14:22.820
 to himself.

00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:24.080
 He pours on oil

00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:24.780
 and wine.

00:14:25.040 --> 00:14:25.820
 He puts the man

00:14:25.820 --> 00:14:26.560
 on his donkey

00:14:26.560 --> 00:14:27.759
 and he has to walk.

00:14:28.100 --> 00:14:29.140
 He gives the innkeeper

00:14:29.140 --> 00:14:29.520
 money.

00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:32.600
 He cares for this man

00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:34.259
 as best as he could

00:14:34.259 --> 00:14:35.240
 in the situation.

00:14:35.800 --> 00:14:36.659
 And then he takes him

00:14:36.659 --> 00:14:37.200
 to the inn

00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:38.500
 and at this point

00:14:38.500 --> 00:14:39.420
 he could have just left

00:14:39.420 --> 00:14:40.960
 but he stays

00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:42.500
 to take care of him

00:14:42.500 --> 00:14:43.840
 and then the next day

00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:44.879
 he gives the innkeeper

00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:45.340
 money

00:14:45.340 --> 00:14:46.700
 to continue

00:14:46.700 --> 00:14:47.540
 to care for him

00:14:47.540 --> 00:14:48.779
 until he comes back.

00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:51.139
 Jesus asks

00:14:51.139 --> 00:14:51.580
 the lawyer

00:14:51.580 --> 00:14:52.360
 verse 36

00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:54.259
 which of these three

00:14:54.259 --> 00:14:55.480
 do you think

00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:56.180
 was a neighbor

00:14:56.180 --> 00:14:56.899
 to the man

00:14:56.899 --> 00:14:57.960
 who fell into

00:14:57.960 --> 00:14:59.000
 the hands of robbers?

00:15:00.060 --> 00:15:00.720
 The expert

00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:01.560
 in the law replied

00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:02.599
 the one who had

00:15:02.599 --> 00:15:03.599
 mercy on him.

00:15:04.819 --> 00:15:05.699
 The strange thing

00:15:05.699 --> 00:15:06.459
 is that the priest

00:15:06.459 --> 00:15:07.119
 and the Levite

00:15:07.119 --> 00:15:09.159
 really were his neighbor.

00:15:09.699 --> 00:15:10.479
 They're from the same

00:15:10.479 --> 00:15:11.219
 family group

00:15:11.219 --> 00:15:12.379
 the Israelites

00:15:12.379 --> 00:15:13.059
 the Jews

00:15:13.059 --> 00:15:15.159
 and yet they didn't

00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:16.059
 neighbor him.

00:15:17.500 --> 00:15:18.259
 And it's as if

00:15:18.259 --> 00:15:19.799
 the lawyer can't say

00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:21.119
 the word Samaritan

00:15:21.119 --> 00:15:22.099
 because it's like

00:15:22.099 --> 00:15:22.899
 a dirty word

00:15:22.899 --> 00:15:23.359
 in his mouth.

00:15:23.479 --> 00:15:24.359
 So he doesn't say

00:15:24.359 --> 00:15:25.359
 it was the Samaritan

00:15:25.359 --> 00:15:26.659
 it was the one

00:15:26.659 --> 00:15:27.639
 who had mercy

00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:28.219
 on him.

00:15:28.220 --> 00:15:30.899
 And when

00:15:30.899 --> 00:15:32.160
 we see the word

00:15:32.160 --> 00:15:32.800
 neighbor here

00:15:32.800 --> 00:15:33.399
 by Jesus

00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:34.480
 the one who was

00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:34.860
 a neighbor

00:15:34.860 --> 00:15:36.160
 Jesus is almost

00:15:36.160 --> 00:15:37.440
 using it like a verb

00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:38.519
 it's not just

00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:39.440
 describing how

00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:40.840
 close they are

00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:42.600
 but it's describing

00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:43.700
 what he did

00:15:43.700 --> 00:15:45.200
 neighboring someone

00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:46.139
 caring for them

00:15:46.139 --> 00:15:47.300
 and loving them.

00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:49.120
 And so Jesus

00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:50.220
 encourages him

00:15:50.220 --> 00:15:50.940
 and us

00:15:50.940 --> 00:15:52.019
 to go

00:15:52.019 --> 00:15:52.940
 and do

00:15:52.940 --> 00:15:53.779
 likewise.

00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:55.620
 Jesus calls

00:15:55.620 --> 00:15:56.000
 the lawyer

00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:56.580
 and he calls

00:15:56.580 --> 00:15:57.419
 us to live

00:15:57.419 --> 00:15:58.179
 a life

00:15:58.179 --> 00:15:58.860
 of radical

00:15:58.860 --> 00:15:59.679
 discipleship.

00:16:00.779 --> 00:16:01.679
 In his life

00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:02.659
 and his death

00:16:02.659 --> 00:16:03.460
 and his resurrection

00:16:03.460 --> 00:16:04.639
 Jesus has showed

00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:05.720
 us what it looks

00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:06.659
 like to love

00:16:06.659 --> 00:16:07.639
 other people.

00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:09.419
 And as we read

00:16:09.419 --> 00:16:10.000
 this story

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:10.700
 from Jesus

00:16:10.700 --> 00:16:11.840
 we see the

00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:12.600
 Samaritan

00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:13.559
 be compassionate

00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:14.659
 and generous

00:16:14.659 --> 00:16:15.299
 and help

00:16:15.299 --> 00:16:16.179
 the wounded man

00:16:16.179 --> 00:16:17.820
 and we can think

00:16:17.820 --> 00:16:18.440
 that Jesus

00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:19.559
 is putting himself

00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:20.399
 into the story.

00:16:21.220 --> 00:16:21.379
 You know

00:16:21.379 --> 00:16:22.000
 the Samaritan

00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:22.299
 man

00:16:22.299 --> 00:16:22.720
 well that's

00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:23.179
 Jesus

00:16:23.179 --> 00:16:24.620
 but

00:16:24.620 --> 00:16:25.799
 our

00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:26.259
 Saviour

00:16:26.259 --> 00:16:26.599
 Jesus

00:16:26.599 --> 00:16:27.919
 is so much

00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:28.379
 better

00:16:28.379 --> 00:16:29.399
 than even

00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:29.919
 this good

00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:30.359
 example.

00:16:31.339 --> 00:16:31.799
 The wounded

00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:32.679
 man could not

00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:33.179
 be blamed

00:16:33.179 --> 00:16:33.559
 for his

00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:34.000
 situation

00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:34.599
 it was just

00:16:34.599 --> 00:16:35.059
 an accident

00:16:35.059 --> 00:16:36.779
 but you

00:16:36.779 --> 00:16:37.699
 and I

00:16:37.699 --> 00:16:38.539
 we stand

00:16:38.539 --> 00:16:39.120
 condemned

00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:39.979
 for our

00:16:39.979 --> 00:16:40.459
 actions

00:16:40.459 --> 00:16:41.879
 because we

00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:42.399
 are dead

00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:42.859
 in our

00:16:42.859 --> 00:16:43.239
 sins.

00:16:43.659 --> 00:16:44.339
 We have

00:16:44.339 --> 00:16:44.719
 from our

00:16:44.719 --> 00:16:45.879
 first moments

00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:46.919
 been attacking

00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:47.699
 ourselves

00:16:47.699 --> 00:16:48.500
 and attacking

00:16:48.500 --> 00:16:49.219
 other people

00:16:49.219 --> 00:16:50.000
 and even

00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:50.599
 when Jesus

00:16:50.599 --> 00:16:51.159
 comes to

00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:51.519
 us

00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:52.699
 we have

00:16:52.699 --> 00:16:53.539
 resisted

00:16:53.539 --> 00:16:53.819
 him

00:16:53.819 --> 00:16:54.179
 and

00:16:54.179 --> 00:16:54.699
 rejected

00:16:54.699 --> 00:16:55.079
 him.

00:16:56.259 --> 00:16:56.539
 The

00:16:56.539 --> 00:16:56.839
 beaten

00:16:56.839 --> 00:16:57.399
 man

00:16:57.399 --> 00:16:58.179
 did not

00:16:58.179 --> 00:16:58.639
 ignore

00:16:58.639 --> 00:16:58.860
 the

00:16:58.860 --> 00:16:59.419
 Samaritan

00:16:59.419 --> 00:17:00.659
 but how

00:17:00.659 --> 00:17:01.459
 many times

00:17:01.459 --> 00:17:01.860
 have we

00:17:01.860 --> 00:17:02.579
 refused

00:17:02.579 --> 00:17:03.159
 the help

00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:04.019
 and healing

00:17:04.019 --> 00:17:04.559
 of our

00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:04.980
 Lord?

00:17:06.159 --> 00:17:06.460
 The

00:17:06.460 --> 00:17:06.879
 Samaritan

00:17:06.879 --> 00:17:07.220
 man

00:17:07.220 --> 00:17:07.639
 happened

00:17:07.639 --> 00:17:08.200
 to come

00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:08.680
 across

00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:09.579
 the wounded

00:17:09.579 --> 00:17:09.960
 man

00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:10.500
 and yet

00:17:10.500 --> 00:17:10.859
 Jesus

00:17:10.859 --> 00:17:11.740
 came to

00:17:11.740 --> 00:17:12.099
 earth

00:17:12.099 --> 00:17:12.639
 with the

00:17:12.639 --> 00:17:13.659
 only intention

00:17:13.659 --> 00:17:14.259
 of saving

00:17:14.259 --> 00:17:14.659
 us.

00:17:16.039 --> 00:17:16.460
 He didn't

00:17:16.460 --> 00:17:17.059
 take a

00:17:17.059 --> 00:17:17.599
 risk of

00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:17.859
 running

00:17:17.859 --> 00:17:18.240
 into

00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:18.759
 thieves

00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:19.839
 he knew

00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:20.200
 he was

00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:20.539
 going to

00:17:20.539 --> 00:17:21.160
 be attacked

00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:22.119
 and stripped

00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:23.200
 and crucified

00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:24.200
 and laid

00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:25.480
 in a grave.

00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:27.859
 What the

00:17:27.859 --> 00:17:28.299
 Samaritan

00:17:28.299 --> 00:17:29.019
 man gave

00:17:29.019 --> 00:17:29.640
 was generous

00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:30.720
 but it is

00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:31.599
 not comparable

00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:32.559
 to all that

00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:33.140
 Jesus has

00:17:33.140 --> 00:17:33.460
 done.

00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:35.140
 The Samaritan

00:17:35.140 --> 00:17:35.619
 man gave

00:17:35.619 --> 00:17:36.559
 wine and

00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:37.000
 oil.

00:17:37.660 --> 00:17:37.960
 Jesus

00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:39.259
 gave his

00:17:39.259 --> 00:17:40.259
 own blood.

00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:42.119
 The Samaritan

00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:42.819
 man gave

00:17:42.819 --> 00:17:43.900
 two coins

00:17:43.900 --> 00:17:44.779
 but Jesus

00:17:44.779 --> 00:17:45.539
 gave up

00:17:45.539 --> 00:17:46.079
 heaven

00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:46.940
 to take

00:17:46.940 --> 00:17:47.740
 on flesh

00:17:47.740 --> 00:17:48.579
 so that

00:17:48.579 --> 00:17:49.180
 we might

00:17:49.180 --> 00:17:49.500
 have

00:17:49.500 --> 00:17:50.099
 all of

00:17:50.099 --> 00:17:50.640
 the blessings

00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:51.420
 of our

00:17:51.420 --> 00:17:51.880
 inheritance

00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:52.539
 from God.

00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:54.500
 You

00:17:54.500 --> 00:17:55.279
 who know

00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:56.039
 the love

00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:56.700
 of Jesus

00:17:56.700 --> 00:17:57.700
 and the

00:17:57.700 --> 00:17:58.220
 hope of

00:17:58.220 --> 00:17:58.480
 heaven

00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:00.039
 you are

00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:00.599
 called

00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:01.359
 by Jesus

00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:02.599
 to have

00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:03.460
 practical

00:18:03.460 --> 00:18:04.079
 love

00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:04.920
 and kindness.

00:18:06.420 --> 00:18:07.279
 To have

00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:07.680
 a radical

00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:08.440
 discipleship

00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:09.019
 that will

00:18:09.019 --> 00:18:09.700
 love what

00:18:09.700 --> 00:18:10.460
 God loves

00:18:10.460 --> 00:18:11.220
 and that

00:18:11.220 --> 00:18:11.940
 says even

00:18:11.940 --> 00:18:12.299
 to an

00:18:12.299 --> 00:18:12.579
 enemy

00:18:12.579 --> 00:18:13.980
 you are

00:18:13.980 --> 00:18:14.640
 my neighbor

00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:16.059
 and I

00:18:16.059 --> 00:18:16.539
 will neighbor

00:18:16.539 --> 00:18:16.779
 you.

00:18:16.779 --> 00:18:17.160
 I will

00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:17.619
 care for

00:18:17.619 --> 00:18:17.799
 you.

00:18:17.899 --> 00:18:18.180
 I will

00:18:18.180 --> 00:18:18.440
 love

00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:18.700
 you.

00:18:20.500 --> 00:18:21.220
 I don't

00:18:21.220 --> 00:18:21.559
 think

00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:22.039
 though

00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:23.819
 having

00:18:23.819 --> 00:18:24.379
 enemies

00:18:24.379 --> 00:18:24.819
 really

00:18:24.819 --> 00:18:25.339
 stops

00:18:25.339 --> 00:18:25.700
 me

00:18:25.700 --> 00:18:26.119
 from

00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:26.879
 loving

00:18:26.879 --> 00:18:27.339
 people.

00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:28.619
 I don't

00:18:28.619 --> 00:18:28.879
 actually

00:18:28.879 --> 00:18:29.339
 know if

00:18:29.339 --> 00:18:29.639
 I have

00:18:29.639 --> 00:18:29.920
 any

00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:30.440
 enemies.

00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:32.359
 Most of

00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:32.660
 us don't

00:18:32.660 --> 00:18:33.000
 live in

00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:33.500
 that kind

00:18:33.500 --> 00:18:34.039
 of world

00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:35.019
 but I

00:18:35.019 --> 00:18:35.220
 think

00:18:35.220 --> 00:18:35.920
 the biggest

00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:36.420
 enemy I

00:18:36.420 --> 00:18:36.839
 have is

00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:37.160
 not a

00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:37.519
 person

00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:37.859
 or a

00:18:37.859 --> 00:18:38.039
 group

00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:38.220
 of

00:18:38.220 --> 00:18:38.500
 people.

00:18:39.559 --> 00:18:39.759
 It

00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:40.079
 is

00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:41.599
 busyness.

00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:41.759
 It

00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:42.019
 is my

00:18:42.019 --> 00:18:42.279
 own

00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:42.879
 time

00:18:42.879 --> 00:18:43.680
 that

00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:44.119
 stops

00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:44.480
 me

00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:44.819
 from

00:18:44.819 --> 00:18:45.279
 being

00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:46.000
 compassionate.

00:18:46.779 --> 00:18:47.299
 I don't

00:18:47.299 --> 00:18:47.599
 think I

00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:47.740
 have

00:18:47.740 --> 00:18:48.000
 enough

00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:48.480
 time

00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:49.000
 to

00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:49.339
 show

00:18:49.339 --> 00:18:49.700
 love

00:18:49.700 --> 00:18:49.879
 to

00:18:49.879 --> 00:18:50.180
 people.

00:18:50.899 --> 00:18:51.500
 Back

00:18:51.500 --> 00:18:51.899
 in the

00:18:51.899 --> 00:18:53.079
 1970s

00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:53.940
 a study

00:18:53.940 --> 00:18:54.599
 was done

00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:54.920
 at

00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:55.359
 Princeton

00:18:55.359 --> 00:18:56.160
 University

00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:57.700
 based on

00:18:57.700 --> 00:18:58.220
 the story

00:18:58.220 --> 00:18:58.480
 of the

00:18:58.480 --> 00:18:58.619
 Good

00:18:58.619 --> 00:18:59.079

00:18:59.399 --> 00:18:59.639
 They

00:18:59.639 --> 00:18:59.920
 wanted

00:18:59.920 --> 00:19:00.240
 to

00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:01.079
 investigate

00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:02.240
 why

00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:02.680
 people

00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:03.039
 did

00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:03.339
 good

00:19:03.339 --> 00:19:03.819
 things.

00:19:04.700 --> 00:19:04.940
 And

00:19:04.940 --> 00:19:05.099
 they

00:19:05.099 --> 00:19:05.399
 went

00:19:05.399 --> 00:19:06.039
 to

00:19:08.899 --> 00:19:09.039
 they

00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:09.319
 found

00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:09.500
 a

00:19:09.500 --> 00:19:09.740
 group

00:19:09.740 --> 00:19:09.940
 of

00:19:09.940 --> 00:19:10.299
 people

00:19:10.299 --> 00:19:11.139
 studying

00:19:11.139 --> 00:19:11.559

00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:11.920

00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:12.319

00:19:12.500 --> 00:19:12.660
 are

00:19:12.660 --> 00:19:13.039

 to do

00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:13.720

00:19:14.859 --> 00:19:15.339

00:19:16.779 --> 00:19:17.379
 They

00:19:17.379 --> 00:19:17.879
 set up

00:19:17.879 --> 00:19:18.319

00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:45.000
 they

00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:45.259
 weren't

00:19:45.259 --> 00:19:45.600
 rushed

00:19:45.600 --> 00:19:46.080
 but

00:19:51.940 --> 00:19:52.060
 you

00:19:52.060 --> 00:19:52.180
 can
