"You go, and do likewise." (Luke 10:37)
The parable ends with a command, and it is the shortest one in the chapter. Go and do likewise. Not think about this. Not agree with this. Not find this challenging and mention it at small group and feel appropriately convicted for about forty minutes. Go, and do. This is the part most of us are worst at. It is entirely possible to feel a thing deeply and completely, and go home, and eat dinner, and never once act on it, and to do that so many times that a person begins to distrust his own emotions in a sermon.
Because a feeling that produces nothing is not compassion. We have said it already. It is pity, and it is cheap, and it will let you die comfortable. The measure of whether the truth landed is never how much you felt. It is what you did.
So do one thing. One. This week. For one person who is actually near you. Not a plan. Not an intention. Not a resolution to be more loving in general. A concrete thing you did, that they could point to, that cost you something. That is the entire assignment, and it has been the assignment for two thousand years, and no amount of feeling has ever once fulfilled it. Put the book down and go be a neighbor to somebody before the conviction wears off, because conviction that is not obeyed quickly is almost never obeyed at all.
