The story of the good Samaritan in the scriptures, was a response to a question Jesus asked a lawyer, who tried to justify himself of his goodness.
Here are the facts:
(A) The man was on a journey traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho.
(B) He fell among thieves.
(C) They stripped him of his clothing.
(D) They wounded him, and left him.
(E) He was found half-dead.
A priest and a Levite past the man, but kept on going on their journey.
A Samaritan saw the man, he stopped and showed compassion.
His compassion involved, banding his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, setting him on his animal and checking him into a local Inn for recovery.
His final act was signing a promissory note guaranteeing payment for all added cost.
Jesus asked the lawyer a final question. "Of the three, who was neighbor to him?"
The lawyer replied, " The one who showed Mercy".
The Lord was our stranger who showed mercy on us and paid the ultimate price by shedding His blood on the cross. There has been no greater act of love than this.
Luke 10: 30-35.
