The Good Samaritan – “Who is my neighbor?”

As I was reading the parable of the Good Samaritan this morning, it occurred to me that the Samaritan was in hostile territory when he happened upon the injured man. The road from Jerusalem to Jericho was not the route between Jerusalem and Samaria. He was really in Jewish territory. Yet he, a despised stranger, had compassion and showed mercy to one who quite likely would not have done the same for him had the situation been reversed. Luke 10:25-37; John 4:9
