Royal law - love your neighbor as yourself

James 2:8‭-‬9 NKJV
If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well; but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

Royal Law:
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
I Peter 2:9 NKJV

Do you believe Royal priesthood,
Royal laws are for Royal people.

You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

Luke 10:31‭-‬32 NKJV
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.

Priest -
Levite -
They are mediators between God and Man.

They know all cermonial things.

They know how to offer sacrifices.

They know how to be clean.

But look at Samaritan, he doesnt know how to worship, he doesnt know the rules correctly, he doesnt know cermonial things

Luke 10:33‭-‬35 NKJV
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.’

Samaritan is also on a Journey just as Priest and Levite.

Whenever you are on a journey, God at times put some thing on your way, do we notice?

Paul was on a journey, God spoke to him
Journeys are important

Samaritan had also work.
But when he saw this man lying down

1) Compassion
Compassion changes lives.
We are saved by compassion

2) works out of compassion
He gave his animal, that means he has to walk.
Sometimes, we might have to leave out our comforts to help others.

We hear so much about Word, but when it comes to practical life., we go away like the priest and levite.
Today there are so many going through challenges.
But do we stepup to fulfill the royal law.

The Royal law is this
Love your neighbor as yourself.
