Regarding Eternal Life ~
Introduction
~
This series is about questions involving Jesus. Some were asked by individuals involved with Jesus
Christ while He walked on earth. Others
are questions that Jesus Christ asked others.
We will look at questions on about 130 topics (some may split into two or
more posts). Even so, it is far from an
exhaustive list.
Scripture ~ “And
behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, ‘Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?’ He said to him, ‘What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?’ So he answered and said, ‘“You shall love the
Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength,
and with all your mind,” and “your neighbor as yourself.”’
And He said to him, ‘You have answered rightly; do this and you
will live.’ But he, wanting to justify
himself, said to Jesus, ‘And who is my neighbor?’
Then Jesus answered and said: ‘A certain man went down from
Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing,
wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a certain priest came down that
road. And when he saw him, he passed by
on the other side. Likewise a Levite,
when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed,
came where he was. And when he saw him, he
had compassion. So he went to him and
bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal,
brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii,
gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, “Take care of him; and whatever
more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.” So which of these three do you think was neighbor
to him who fell among the thieves?’
And he said, ‘He who showed mercy on him.’ Then Jesus said to him, ‘Go and do likewise’”
(Luke 10:25-37).
