Nothing & Everything

The parable of the Good Samaritan challenges our understanding of who deserves our compassion and care. When a lawyer asks Jesus about inheriting eternal life, Jesus responds with a story about an unlikely hero - a Samaritan who shows mercy to a wounded stranger while religious leaders pass by. This parable reveals that we cannot earn salvation through good works, but as recipients of God's mercy through Jesus, we are called to show that same compassion to others. Being a good neighbor means crossing cultural and social boundaries to help those in need, just as Christ crossed heaven to earth to rescue us.To further connect with the Orchard, receive prayer, or fuel the mission through giving, visit our website at www.theorchardnc.com
