Jesus taught about mercy as demonstrated in the parable of the Good Samaritan to communicate to us, “Go and do likewise.” Luke 10:37.
Can we pass by on the other side because we have some policy we want to support? Can we pass by on the other side because we have a politician we want to support? God invites us and challenges us to be like the Good Samaritan, who regardless of any differences we may have with the persons who are suffering we lend our resources, we lend our hand, to do what we can. And then we plug into other resources of those who can take it a little further than we are able to. And then we come back by and revisit to make sure if there’s anything else that we can do. That’s all the Good Samaritan did. That’s all He expects of us.
