The parable of the Good Samaritan is more than just a feel-good story about a good neighbor that holds a goal of true love before our eyes. This parable is full of hard-hitting law. It reveals our sinful nature and its deadly impact on our lives. We cannot be a perfect neighbor which means we cannot earn heaven on our own. But, Jesus was our perfect neighbor on the cross, having mercy on us, and winning heaven for us. As our perfect neighbor, he invites us to love him and others in freedom.
