Parable of the Good Samaritan
The parable of the Good Samaritan is found in the Gospel of Luke, specifically in Luke 10:25-37.
In this parable, a man is traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho when he is attacked by robbers, stripped, beaten, and left half dead by the side of the road. A priest and a Levite come across the wounded man but pass by without help. Then, a Samaritan, a member of a group despised by the Jews, comes upon the injured man. Despite the cultural animosity between Jews and Samaritans, the Samaritan is moved with compassion. He tends to the man's wounds, puts him on his animal, takes him to an inn, and pays for his care, promising to return and cover any additional expenses.
Why do you think Jesus chose a Samaritan as the hero of the story despite the animosity between Samaritans and Jews?

About this Plan
Jesus was a master storyteller. He knew that the timeless principles He was trying to articulate would be best remembered through storytelling. He often spoke through parables to (1) communicate a more profound truth, (2) make His teachings more accessible to those who were ready to hear them, and (3) confound those who refused to listen. Parables were shaped to convey a single thought, so don't get lost in the details wondering what each part means. Absorb the story and allow Jesus to communicate His truth to your heart.
