We’ve been in the story of the Good Samaritan before. Last year we asked what mercy looks like. This year we’re asking something harder: what gets in the way? The priest and Levite weren’t monsters. They were busy. They had somewhere to be. And maybe that’s the most uncomfortable thing about this parable… most of us understand them. In Luke 10, the hidden villain isn’t bad theology. It’s urgency. And the Samaritan’s greatest act wasn’t what he did, it’s that he stopped. This week in "Following Jesus in Real Life," we’re inviting you to consider that love requires us to be interruptible… and that the interruptions we keep avoiding might be exactly where God is waiting.
