(Luke 10:25-29) Jesus gives the familiar parable of the Good Samaritan in response to a question from a certain lawyer (expert in Mosaic law), "What shall I do to inherit eternal life?" This morning, we consider the conversation between Jesus and the lawyer and how it leads Jesus to respond with this well-known parable.
In this series, we study Jesus' use of parables as a teaching tool, looking at how and why Jesus used parables, as well as examining the major parables recorded in the synoptic gospels.
