The Good Samaritan: Jesus Teaches About Caring for Outcasts |
|
|
Jesus told the story to shock the people and make them think. The Priest and the temple assistant did not stop to help their own countryman. The despised Samaritan was the hero that freely gave his time and money to help a stranger and an enemy. He did what pleased God. Jesus turned to the man who had asked him the question. "Now, which of these three people would you say was a neighbour to the man who was attacked by bandits?" Jesus asked. "The one who helped him," the man replied. Then Jesus said, "Yes - now you go and do the same." |

The man had asked, "Who is my neighbour?". In the story, Jesus taught that everyone is our neighbour, and should receive our love, our compassion and our help. You can find this story in the Bible. Read it for yourself in Luke chapter 10 verses 25 - 37. |
