The Substance

55: Reflects | The Good Samaritan


Listen Later

After three consecutive guest episodes, we're excited to be back with the original Substance crew. Shoutout to everyone who's left us a 5 star review on Apple review (thank you Summer & Dani for the newest ones)! We're back in the Bible this week talking about a very familiar story.

The Good Samaritan is one of the most widely known parables, both inside and outside of the Church. The story of man in peril being helped by an ethnic enemy after religious leaders see him in need and ignore him was and is a powerful picture of what it means to love our neighbors and serve those in our proximity.

However, this is not how all people of faith see this parable. There are some who say that using The Good Samaritan as a passage to call us to love and serve our neighbors is inappropriate and that it's just about our personal salvation. We spend some time this week seeing if there's any valid way to get to that understanding from Scripture.
