Parable of good samaritan goodsamaritan.txtthread
You asked, \"Is it hinting that we should love the saviour figure who everyone despises - ie Jesus!!!\"
Samaritan was a stranger to the one who was wounded, yet he showed mercy to some one whom he did not know. Jesus meant to explain it is easy to show sympathy to some one you know, but to show sympathy to a stranger is difficult. Going back to beginning of the story, Jesus narrated this parable in answer to the question,\"What shall I do to have eternal life?\" Some bible have interpreted as thus,\"What shall I do to enter the kingdom of heaven? The parable was the answer to this question and not to the question, \"who is my neighbor?\" It means to enter kingdom of heaven or to have eternal life is as difficult as loving a stranger. Perhaps the people in kingdom of heaven would love strangers as well as we love our neighbors.
