What does it really mean to love your neighbor?

In Luke 10:25–37, Jesus tells the parable of the Good Samaritan—a story so familiar it can feel safe, yet so confronting it refuses to leave us unchanged. In a world surrounded by need, we learn how to manage it, categorize it, and often distance ourselves from it. But Jesus tells a story that disrupts those instincts.

This message explores how compassion becomes costly, how mercy moves toward need rather than away from it, and how Jesus redefines what it means to live as God’s people in the world.

More than a moral lesson, this parable invites us to see differently—to allow God’s mercy to reshape our hearts, our habits, and our everyday lives.
