Biblical Roads: The Road to Jericho
from Written Spoken · host Esther W. Wright
The focus of this episode is the parable of the Good Samaritan. We’ll look at the context in which Jesus told this parable, the surprising choice of a Samaritan as the hero, and the deeper message about mercy, compassion, and what it truly means to love our neighbor. I also share a personal story that reminded me how easy it is to miss moments of mercy—and how gracious God is to give us new opportunities to “go and do likewise.” Join me as we ask not just “Who is my neighbor?” but “How can I be a better neighbor?”Scripture Focus: Luke 10:25–37 (NIV).
