It’s me...and me!

The parable of the Good Samaritan, found in Luke 10:25-37, is a very familiar parable. In fact, many persons who have never attended a church know what is meant by the phrase "Good Samaritan". Pastor Ross Erb enlisted the help of the youth group at Park View Mennonite to help him as he looked at this parable. The result was a study of the various characters found in the passage. How might you see yourself in the teacher, Jesus, the victim, the robbers, the Pharisee or Levite, the Samaritan, or the innkeeper? And as you see yourself, how might you be motivated to make changes? Can we all move toward becoming Good Samaritans in whatever circumstances we find ourselves?
