There is nothing he can give to regain his life. For the Son of Man is about to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will reward each one according to his deeds.

The Parable of the Good Samaritan. Luke 10 v 29 - 37 ...............the expert in the Law asked Jesus, 'And who is my neighbor?' In reply Jesus said: 'A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.' 'Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?' The expert in the law replied, 'The one who had mercy on him.' Jesus told him, 'Go and do likewise.'

Ash Wednesday. And when you fast,do not put on a sad face as the hypocrites do. They neglect their appearance so that everyone will see that they are fasting.

And your Father,who sees what you do in private, will reward you. Matthew 6 v 16--18 Good News Bible. Gwyn

And it is to him that we must give an account of ourselves. Hebrews 4 v 12 - 13 Good News Bible grace and peace, Vonny

As Jesus was going down down the road, he saw a tax collector, Matthew, sitting at a tax collection booth. 'Come and be my disciple,' Jesus said to him, and Matthew jumped up and went along with him.

'Why does your teacher associate with men like that?' 'Because people who are well don't need a doctor! it's the sick people who do!' was Jesus' reply. Then he added, 'Now go away and learn the meaning of this scripture: It isn't your sacrifices and your gifts I want - I want you to be merciful.' For I have come to urge sinners, not the self-righteous, back to God. Matthew 9 v 9 - 13. Living Bible
