Reflections with Andy - Luke 10: 21-24 - The Good Samaritan

In Luke 10:25–37, Jesus answers the lawyer’s question, “Who is my neighbor?” with the parable of the Good Samaritan, where the unlikely hero is not a priest or Levite but a Samaritan—an outsider despised by the Jews—who shows mercy to a wounded man. By making the Samaritan the model of neighbor-love, Jesus teaches that God’s grace crosses every boundary and that true faith is measured not by ritual purity or status but by compassion in action. The challenge for us today is to see the “Samaritans” in our own lives—the people we’d least expect or most want to exclude—and to recognize that God loves them too. Jesus’ command remains clear: “Go and do likewise.”Shameless plug: here’s a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.
