The parable of The Good Samaritan is found in Luke 10:25-37.
The question the expert in the law asks Jesus is about what to do. Jesus shows him who to be!
What kind of person do I need to be? A person with a heart of humility. A person with a heart of compassion. A person with a heart of brotherly love.
You become this person by coming to Jesus. You cannot gain eternal life by doing something. You find life by receiving Someone. You grow by walking with Jesus. Living a heart of humility. Living a heart of compassion. Living a heart of brotherly love.

2024 has been a hard year for many. What is God’s message for us at the beginning of the New Year?

Why do we believe the Bible?
We believe the Bible because of Its honesty, unity, historical reliability, endorsement by Jesus, and Its power to change lives.
