We live in a world where compassion has become optional, love is politicized, and many of us would rather talk about our faith than actually live it. In this week’s teaching from Luke 10, we step into one of Jesus’ most radical stories—the parable of the Good Samaritan. It’s not just a nice Sunday school tale. It’s a disruptive, reorienting confrontation. Most of us have learned how to justify walking past need. We intellectualize. We vilify. We magnify. We see suffering… and we keep scrolling. We feel the nudge of the Spirit… and silence it with busyness. But Jesus doesn’t give us an out. He takes the law—“Love your neighbor as yourself”—and breathes fire into it with a story that crosses racial, religious, and social lines.
