31-32 verses, And by chance there
came down certain priest that way
and when he saw him he passed by
on the other side. And likewise, a
Levite, when he was at the place
came and looked at him and passed
by on the other side" The road to
Jerusalem had two sides, this side
and the other side. The road from
the cradle to the grave has two sides.
The Priest and the Levite took the
other side to escape all present dut-
les to the poor Samaritan who needed
their help. This has been true all
down the ages. God will weigh each
one of his followers separate, not col
lectively Many will be weighed in
the balance and found wanting. Many
wish to be found on the popular side
not on the side of duty. The sermon
was filed with helpful thoughts to
all.
