The Story of the Good Samaritan, found in
Luke 10:25-37, is often taught by Pastors and Bible teachers to motivate their
church to “Love your neighbor as yourself” by doing good deeds as the Good
Samaritan did. In teaching this, they totally miss the context of the story and the reason Jesus told the story. Jesus’
purpose in telling this story was not to get the average church member to do
good deeds. His purpose was to confront the self-righteousness of an expert in the law, most likely a Pharisee, who asked him a question. |
