It’s no secret that our culture is obsessed with death. Whether it is the quest to avoid aging and death altogether, or putting to death anything that hinders us getting what we want, the only answer our world can give to death is more death.
Then in steps Jesus, Life Himself. He sees the suffering, the victims, the dying, and He carries them and cares for them.
When distraction and status and self-importance keep people from helping people, Jesus does the opposite. He does not cross the street and pass by on the other side. He sees, has compassion, and enters the ditch.
Today we are talking about The Good Samaritan and lots of other things too. And while we ask lots of questions and give lots of answers, we acknowledge that at the heart of being a good Samaritan is knowing The Good Samaritan–the One who loved lavishly and gave freely to those who had nothing to give in return.
