On the Other Side

Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side.”

Luke 10:32

The Levite, unfortunately, performs no better than the priest. He takes the time to look at this poor wretch, but passes by on the other side of the road nonetheless.

Keep in mind too that had the wounded man been conscious, or someone important, he might have been helped by his countrymen. Surely, had there been a crowd present, something would have had to be said. But even at that, the Jews believed misfortune was always punishment; he may still not have been assisted.

Heavenly Father, thank You for helping us in our wretched condition. You have offered salvation to the robber and the hypocrite alike. Thank You for allowing us in from the dangerous road to the high way. You are merciful and just. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
