In this message from Luke 10:25–37, we explore one of the most familiar yet misunderstood teachings of Jesus—the Parable of the Good Samaritan. When a teacher of the law asked, “Who is my neighbor?” he wasn’t just asking a question—he was trying to draw boundaries around love. And if we’re honest, we do the same today. It’s easy to love people who look like us, think like us, and belong to our circle. But what about those outside our comfort zone? Different tribe, different politics, different beliefs? Do they still count? Jesus refuses to answer the question the way we expect. Instead, He flips it. The issue is no longer who qualifies to be loved, but whether we are willing to become neighbors to anyone in need. This message challenges the way we practice our faith. It confronts selective love, religious comfort, and the tendency to limit compassion. Because at the end of the day, following Jesus is not just about knowing the law—it’s about living it.
