Now what to make of it?
“What to make of it” is that this parable and other teachings of Jesus emphasize that we are to help those in need. We might even say that an eagerness to help those in need is a characteristic of the Kingdom of God. Prudent judgment is to be employed in determining, as far as possible, which means are genuinely helpful and beneficial.
What she said! Anyone whom you come across in your life that you can help is “the poor” and your neighbor. We had a blowout on our RV that put us in a rest stop on I25. The next morning a trucker came over and asked if we had any paper towels. I asked him what he needed them for and he said to make coffee. I said that a number one coffee filter would do better and gave him a box. Abba Father takes care of our smallest needs, but one has to be alert to when one is being used as the instrument of His Grace.
