In the Parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus responds to a religious expert’s question, “Who is my neighbor?” with a story of radical compassion along the perilous Jerusalem-to-Jericho road. A Samaritan’s selfless care for a beaten stranger contrasts sharply with the indifference of religious passersby. This parable challenges us to move beyond convenience and fear, urging us to embrace a love beyond what’s expected by serving a neighbor in need with Christ-like compassion. That kind of love will leave a lasting impact.
