Luke 10:25-371 John 4:9-12We live in a world where any event or person can “go viral.” That means a digital version can be seen almost imme- diately around the world on FaceBook or YouTube or many other social media. On October 18, 2013, a bus driver in Buffalo, N.Y., named Darnell Barton pulled over his city bus on a freeway overpass and got out to coax a distraught woman from jumping to her death. His kindness, caught on a passenger’s cell phone, went viral. Many of the reports of this event actually refer to Mr. Barton as “a good Samaritan.” Why is that phrase used in a recent newspaper report? Let’s consider the famous story told by Jesus that is titled the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25 – 37). Once again, Jesus — master storyteller—has a shocking surprise in the middle of His story.
