The Great Samaritan

Most of us read the Good Samaritan and ask, "Am I the priest? The Levite? The Samaritan?" But Jesus may have intended something very different. What if we're not supposed to see ourselves as the one offering help—but the one needing help? The good news of the Gospel is that Jesus did not pass us by. Jesus became the wounded Man to rescue those who wounded Him. And because we have been shown mercy, He calls us to become people who show mercy.
