The Good Samaritan

Today we continue our series in the Gospel of Luke, one of four eyewitness accounts of Jesus’ words and works. In them we learn of his life, death, and resurrection to rescue a people of his own from among the nations—even us. Today, in 10:25-37, we reach the famous parable of the Good Samaritan, though we might be surprised to discover its main point. Jesus helps us see that we are not as good as we think we are and, at the same time, he is far better than we’d hope.
