Today’s story (or parable) just might be the most popular parable Jesus ever told. It’s the parable of the Good Samaritan. The term “Good Samaritan” is synonymous with being a good neighbor, a helpful person who comes along and saves you. Christian ministries have taken on this name that connotes a ministry of compassion and care. Do we really understand the story or its meaning and application? May the Holy Spirit give us a fresh understanding of an ancient story.
