Description
If you'll permit me to stretch Jesus' parable of- the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:24-37) just a bit, 1 wonder what the one who fell into the hands of robbers chose to remember on the tenth anniversary of that fateful journey down from Jerusalem to Jericho. You know, what we remember and how we remember is our choice. Whether we observe an anniversary and how we observe that anniversary are choices we make. So what choice do you suppose the one who fell into the hands of robbers made? How do you imagine he chose to remember that awful day? Do you think the one who fell among robbers dwelled on the attack? Did he take the day off to sit and watch the images replay again and again in his mind? Maybe he created a media event. Perhaps this one who fell among robbers returned to the spot and held a ceremony--dignitaries, a wreath, and a prayer. Maybe he wrote a book about his experience- Could it be that he simply paused silently as the clock ticked the hour of the terror?
