You and your friends are enjoying your lunch at McDonalds. Suddenly a commotion begins to take place and two men start fighting. One is elderly, the other a young man. The young men, and then several young men join in and began to beat up this elderly gentleman. What do you do as a Christian? Do you intervene? Do you wait until the man is left alone? Do you stay out of it? What do you do Christians? Okay, I'll leave a scripture verse that may help.
Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, 'Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.' Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?" He said, "The one who showed him mercy." And Jesus said to him, "You go, and do likewise." (Luke 10:30-37 ESV)
