Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 10:37

"And he said, He that showed mercy on him. And Jesus said unto him, Go, and do thou likewise." — Luke 10:37 (ASV)

And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

Here was a dismissal, and here was a commission too. Jesus dismissed him. "I have nothing more to say to you; Go." Here was the commission: Do thou likewise. Alas! I am afraid that, after most sermons people get the dismissal: Go; but they forget the commission: Go, and do thou likewise. It is your privilege as well as your duty, O Christians, to assist the needy; and whenever you discover distress, as far as lies in you, to minister practically to its relief.

Then said Jesus to him, Go, and do you likewise.

May we all be enabled to do so by exercising constant love to those who are in need!
