In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers.
Sometimes along life's journey, people often fall into the traps of robbers. By traps, I mean those circumstances that rob God's best for our lives. Traps labeled; drug and alcohol addiction, divorce, sickness, fornication, unforgiveness, bitterness, gossip, and others alike. The scripture today comes from the story of The Good Samaritan. Please take time to read it. See if you can think of someone that you know of who maybe has been robbed or who has fallen into a trap on life's journey. Perhaps you have a friend who comes from a divorced family and is feeling confused and hurt. Maybe someone who likes to drink, do drugs or who is living in fornication. Can you think of ways that you can reach out to them in love and help to bring them out of the trap they are in? A good place to start would be to let them know you care about them regardless; perhaps invite them to your church, women's group meetings, men's group meetings or youth group meetings.
