Conversation in 3D
A recent Morning Message showed the image of a roadblock. Two road
signs indicated that a choice was to be made. Road Closed, or Detour. In a
vehicle, one would scarcely choose the option of disregarding the sign. The
only practical option is diverting to the detour. For this article’s purposes, we
are discussing how we can “be” a detour for others.
“Jesus replied, ‘A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he
fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half dead” (Luke 10:30).
This man was in desperate need for help and he needed someone to “be” a detour for him. For someone to
help him navigate his rough terrain. To help him get back up on his feet and out of that pit of despair.
“Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. So
likewise, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as
he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. He went to him and bound
up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and
took care of him. And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take
care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.’ Which of these three, do
you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers’” (Luke 10: 31-36)?
From this parable, we find 3 options we can be for others. We can cause the roadblock. We can rob people
of their dignity and mistreat them to a point they are left in a worse state once we are done. We can choose
to do nothing about a someone’s challenging situation. We will be the Priest or Levite who chose to “take”
a detour for ultimately selfish reasons. We can be the Good Samaritan who chose to “be” a detour for the
person who desperately needed help getting out of that road.
In conversation, it is very easy to come to a roadblock in conflict. For instance, that roadblock will be found
daily on social media. This barrier is someone who is throwing up the signs indicating “rough road” ahead,
“work ahead,” “uneven terrain.” If you go on ahead anyway, the environment will ensure the need for a
balance and you might get an adjustment by realignment whether you want it or not. While you are there,
you might see other good intentioned people who were swallowed up in the pit of despair who just spun
their wheels in aggravation and arguments. This made the potholes deeper and may even cause the person
going through this to shudder upon seeing you.
Be the good Samaritan anyway. He navigated the rough situation for this man and provided the detour for
him at his own expense.
In conversation “be” a Detour that Deters the Devil.
