Good Samaritan?

Good Samaritan?

 

It is a special Wednesday night. We are having a normal cell meeting. Our cell leader share with us news articles with the title: Arab parents donate son's kidney to Israeli 

 

My first thought: !!!???

To me, Arab and Israel do not mix. They are enemies to each other�s.

How can they do good to their enemy? Another point raised by one cell member is that: Muslim usually does not donate their organs. Some says: Good Samaritan.

 

This really shows that Christians not necessary the only good people on earth.

 

And another incident happen is:

While we talking about this, there were two strangers come, one old man and one little girl. They rang the door bell and asking for food. We give them some biscuit and Milo.

(And one of our cell members mentioned the word again: Good Samaritan.)

We are told that the little girl is HIV positive.

 

These two incidents make me think:

Are we really Good Samaritan?

 

What actions we should take in these situations:

Are we able to offer help to the needy without prejudice?

We read about noble things but when things happen at our doorstep, are we willing to offer our hands?
