Everyone knows the story of the Good Samaritan. They could practically tell it in their sleep. It’s the classic tale of helping your neighbor. There’s nothing to add to it. But what if we looked at the story from the viewpoint of a new journey? A journey that ends in Jericho.
If there is another way of looking at it, maybe this story is like one of those pictures where you see one thing, then either turn it around or focus on a different part of it and see something else—like the duck that could also be a rabbit, or the chalice that is also two faces looking at each other.
We’ve all seen Jesus’ story one way, but maybe there’s another way to look at it. In this sermon, we’ll unpack how the story is about more than defining our neighbor. Much more.
