KEY POINTS

Step Out of Our Comfort Zone

  • There is a lot of suffering in the world. Naturally we want to protect ourselves against that suffering so what we do is we make a space in our life where we feel safe, where we feel comfortable, our comfort zone.
    Jesus is telling us here that every now and again we should step out of this comfort zone and do something a bit risky for him. The phrase we use as Christians for this is taking a step of faith. Which is just another way of saying do something risky for God. That’s what the Samaritan did and Jesus says we should do the same.
  • The Samaritan stepped out of his comfort zone to show love to a man in need, it was costly, it was scary, it was dangerous but he did it. Jesus says we’re to go to likewise. So that’s the first way to show costly love to our neighbour: Step out of your comfort zone.
