Luke 10: 25-37
Perhaps the letter writer should read Luke 10: 25-37. Jesus told the parable of the Good Samaritan. When he was set upon by robbers and left to die, this man was ignored by his own people, but the Samaritan looked after him. We were told to “go and do likewise.” If we ignore the needy people in China and Pakistan, we are like the priest and levite. I feel that, as Christians, we should be prepared to serve anyone in the world who needs our help.
PWS&D = Good Samaritan
