(Luke 10:30-37) In this study, we examine the parable of the Good Samaritan that Jesus told in answering the questions of a certain lawyer who sought to justify himself in his ability to keep the law's requirement to "Love your neighbor as yourself." Jesus used this parable not only to identify WHO is our neighbor, but also in showing HOW to love one's neighbor as one's self.
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.
