Seeking an Answer to an Age Old Problem

The account of the good Samaritan is a story about Jewish prejudice. After Jesus states the commandment to love your neighbor as yourself, a lawyer asks, “Who is my neighbor?” Jesus answers by recounting the story of the “good Samaritan” (Luke 10:30-35). Jesus then asks, “Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?” The answer is obvious—The Samaritan is the neighbor. The people the lawyer was commanded to love as himself were Samaritans, a race of people the Jews despised! This Jewish prejudice is illustrated again in Jesus’ dealing with the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4:3-9, 27).

There is a lot of prejudice in America today. The word “prejudice” means to “pre-judge” someone without any evidence to make a judgment. Someone is judged unfairly. Pre-Judging occurs on both sides—black and white.

In this message I want to deal with the subject “Black Lives Matter” under three headings: (1) The FRUSTRATED slogan. (2) The FAULTY reply. (3) A FINER response.
