Freckles gumbo come out come on it's Story Time yes
yes let's go I cannot wait to hear a new parable
it's time for you to tell us a story hello children yes and today I am
going to tell you the story of the Good Samaritan the Good Samaritan
is a Good Samaritan we'll get to know about that as we hear the story okay one day a man
came up to Jesus while he was teaching the man asked Jesus Lord what must I do to live forever
my son the Old Testament law says love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your
soul and with all your strength and with all your mind and love your neighbor as yourself
and this my son is the only way to live forever the man looked confused he asked my Lord what does
loving your neighbor mean do I have to love all my neighbors equally or just the ones that live
close by Jesus told the man a story about the Good Samaritan to help explain to the man the
true meaning of loving your neighbors one day A man was traveling alone from Jerusalem to Jericho
while he was on his way some robbers attacked him they beat him up and took away everything
that he had even his clothes the man was left all alone on the road hurt and robbed he waited and
waited for someone to come by and help him soon a priest was walking by the same road he saw the
man lying on the ground in pain he looked at him but did not help him he continued with his journey
soon enough a levite was crossing the same road where the man lay on the ground
who is a levit holy a levite is a man who knew all of God's laws they were good Jews oh
the man lay on the ground and asked for help from the levite but levite did not help him
he ignored him and went on his way finally a man from Samaria came along that road
Jews never liked the Samaritans because they thought them to be
selfish the Samaritans saw the man in pain and immediately stopped to help him
took out his wine and oil from his bag and put it on his wounds then he lifted the man and took him
to a nearby Inn there he took care of the man all night to make sure he was going to be all right
the next morning the Samaritan had to leave for his own Journey he wanted to make sure that
the injured man was taken care of so he gave The Innkeeper some money he gave The Innkeeper enough
money so that the injured man could stay for the next two months he even told The Innkeeper that
he would come back and pay him more money if the man was still sick so children tell me which one
of these men do you think was a true neighbor to the hurt and robbed man the priest the nevite or
the Samaritan the Samaritan he was the true neighbor he helped the man in distress yes
the holy Tales today's Parable is the last sheep long time ago there lived a Shepherd
who had a flock of hundred sheep Shepherd loved all his sheep very dearly and was very fond of
each and every one of them he loved them so much that he even named them every night before going
to sleep he would count all his sheep to make sure that all hundred sheep were there every day
the shepherd would take his sheep to large green fields where they could eat fresh grass and would
also take them to freshwater streams so that they could have a nice drink when they were thirsty
when the shepherd took his sheep to the fields he was always alert of the dangerous animals
like lions and bears who would often come to attack or hurt them but the shepherd was very
careful and very protective of his sheep and would chase away the dangerous animals
one day when the shepherd took his sheep out in the field one of the sheep wandered away
when the shepherd counted his sheep he found only 99. he was frightened he called out for
the Sheep by his name but the Sheep did not return he frantically looked for the Sheep below the deep
valley and behind the bushes but he was nowhere to be found the shepherd was very sad he sat down
on a rock and cried for his missing sheep when he suddenly heard a bleeding he looked around and saw
his lost sheep walking towards him the shepherd ran to the sheep and picked him up in his arms
he was very very happy with all his hundred sheep the shepherd came back home
the story was nice but did you understand the meaning of it of course I did this Parable
means that each and every single person is important in God's heaven no one person is
most important or least important God loves everyone equally well done tubby the holy Tales
all right so today's Parable is the Pharisee and the tax collector who is a Pharisee holy
a Pharisee is a teacher of scriptures and a person who knows a lot about God oh I see thank you
long long time ago one day two men went to the temple to pray
one was a Pharisee and one was a tax collector the two men sat down on their knees and prayed to God
while praying all that the Pharisee could think about was how good he was and how much better he
was than any other person he prayed to God and said God I thank you that I am not bad
like all the other people I am glad that I am not bad like the robbers and the cheaters
I'm so glad that I'm not a bad person like the tax collector over there Pharisee continued praying
Lord I'm so good and generous I give lots of money to people in need and I pray a lot
when God heard his prayers he was very angry with the Pharisee the Pharisee was not at all humble
while praying he had too much pride in himself as and so he put himself above everyone else
then the tax collector began praying to God as we know Tax Collectors were considered to
be bad people who would cheat others for money but this tax collector was not one of those bad people
wanted to pray from his heart and had a lot of faith in God
prayed to God from a distance inside the temple God you are so good please
forgive me for all the wrong that I have done please help me to be a better person every day
and like the Pharisee the tax collector was humble at his praying God was very happy with him
the tax collector did not even think for once how good he was instead he thought how good God was
so through this Parable what Jesus wanted to explain to people was to be humble before God
and God would make them great wow that was such a nice story thank you for the story holy I loved it
I am glad you did freckles hope you enjoyed the story as much as we did come back soon we'll be
back with a new Parable keep watching until next time to watch more videos please subscribe [Music]
