THE LUTHERAN SENTINEL
8
We see a man is attacked, robbed, stripped, and beaten. His own people, priests and Levites, offer no help. They pass him by. He’s going to die like this. But then another man approaches. Even though they come from different places, even though they should be sworn enemies, this man, a Samaritan, saves the dying man’s life. He bandages his wounds, applies healing ointment, and transports the man to an inn, where he then pays all the expenses for the victim’s recovery and rehab.
