The Good Samaritan - Loving God and Loving Others

Scripture:

Luke 10:25-37


Synopsis:

Jesus is telling a young lawyer how he can obtain eternal life through the parable of the "good Samaritan." Two main principles are evident in this parable. First, Christianity is not about being an expert or being perfect...it's about being willing to receive God's love and forgiveness (grace) and express them to those around us. Secondly, true neighbors are those who show mercy - which is feeling empathy / compassion AND taking action to help!


Spark:

Find an opportunity to show God's love, grace, and mercy to someone around you today, and DO so!
