Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan, depicted here in one glorious section of a magnificent stained glass window, from Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Dubbo, is so well that the term ‘good Samaritan’ is in common usage. When someone does something good and kind for another person, they are sometimes referred to using that adage or cliché.

Just before Jesus tells the parable, in Luke10:27, he says these words ~ “Love the Lord your God with all your mind and all your hear and all your strength. And love you neighbours also.” ~ which tells the whole story and conveys Jesus message beautifully.
We are called to care for one another, but particularly those in need, and not to cross to the other side of the road!
