“Nou, watter van hierdie drie sou jy sê, was ‘n naaste vir die man wat deur rowers aangeval is?..” Lukas 10:36 NLV

Watter tipe buurman is jy?

Jesus vertel die verhaal van die Joodse reisiger wat op die pad na Jerigo deur rowers oorval, aangerand en vir dood agtergelaat is. Twee Jode, beide in die bediening, het verby hom geloop sonder om hom te help. Toe het ‘n Samaritaan hom gered. Die Jode het geen groep mense meer as die Samaritane gehaat nie. Hulle is openlik in die sinagoge vervloek en is van tempelaanbidding verbied. Wat hierdie Samaritaan dus gedoen het was niks minder as wonderbaarlik nie. Hy het al sy persoonlike hulpbronne gebruik – sy persoonlike klere, olie, wyn, sy tyd, pakdier, geld en energie – om hierdie Joodse man na die beste van sy vermoë by te staan. Toe het hy sy lewe gewaag om die gewonde man na ‘n herberg in ‘n Joodse area te neem. Bo dit alles het hy die herbergier vir die man se kos en kamer vir verskeie dae betaal en beloof om terug te keer en vir enigiets meer wat die man skuld, te betaal. Dit was van kardinale belang omdat enigiemand wat nie hul rekening kon betaal nie, deur die herbergiers as ‘n slaaf verkoop kon word sodat hulle volle betaling vir die skuld kon ontvang. Jesus sluit die verhaal met hierdie woorde af: ‘Nou, watter van hierdie drie sou jy sê, was ‘n naaste vir die man wat deur rowers aangeval is?..’ Geen wet sal jou ooit ‘n goeie buurman laat wees nie, maar die liefde van Christus sal. A neighbour is not identified by color or creed; a neighbour is identified by the nearest need. Hier is dus ‘n gebed vir jou om te bid: ‘Here, gee my die moed om ’n naaste in nood te herken en te help.’ Dis ‘n gebed wat Hy sal beantwoord!
