Good Samaritan.
I searched
and the word
‘oxymoron’
doesn’t appear
in my Bible.
Good Samaritan.
It’s much like
jumbo shrimp
or freezer burn,
you know.
The two words
don’t seem to go together
for we read
that there is nothing good
about a Samaritan.
But maybe, just maybe
that which Jesus asks
from each of us
is to become an oxymoron!
Perhaps Jesus' teachings and example
proclaim that two opposites
will become kingdom words.
O God …
help me to be
an oxymoron.
A generous giver.
A compassionate Christian.
A loving neighbor.
A good Samaritan.
