Costly Compassion

If you and your colleagues were to compare your bank accounts - would you be able to tell who was Christian by how they spent their money?
What would be different?

Compassion for others is costly; we use our money for the good of others.

But a Samaritan, as he travelled, 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, brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii 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.’
Luke 10:33-35
