Section 9
and the divine life. When the Man-Savior came to us, He poured on our wounds His Spirit and His divine life.
The Samaritan then placed the man on His own beast, on a donkey. This indicates that the Samaritan carried him by lowly means in a lowly way. Many of us can testify that we were brought into the church in such a lowly way, carried on a "donkey." We did not come into the church in a way that was splendid and glorious. On the con trary, we were brought into the church in a lowly way and by lowly means.
The Samaritan brought the man to an inn and took care of him. This indicates that He brought him to the church and took care of him through the church.
Verse 35 says, "And on the next morning, taking out two denarii, he gave them to the inn keeper and said to him, Take care of him; and whatever you spend in addition, when I return, I will repay you." Here we see that the Samaritan paid the inn for the man. This means that He blessed the church for him. Furthermore, His promise to pay the innkeeper whatever he spent in addition points to whatever the church spends for him in this age being repaid at the Savior's coming back.
