Both a priest and a Levite walked by and ignored him. But it was a Samaritan who sacrificed his time and money to help him heal. So for many reasons, Samaritans were despised by the Jews. But that didn't stop the Samaritan in this story from showing compassion. What Jesus wanted the Jewish expert and us to hear is that anyone, anywhere is our neighbor, and everyone is worthy of our sacrificial love. How do you love yourself?
