The Good Samaritan Isn’t About Being Nice | The Parable That Exposes Our Hearts (R.C. Sproul)

"The Good Samaritan is one of the most quoted parables and one of the most misunderstood. In this teaching, R.C. Sproul walks through the original tension between Jews and Samaritans, the deeper motive behind the lawyer’s question, and the uncomfortable lesson Jesus was making: loving your neighbor isn’t a theory, it’s proof of compassion in action.

This message explains why the priest and Levite passed by, what real mercy looks like, and the key distinction Sproul makes between brotherhood and neighborhood in the New Testament. It’s a challenging and refreshing breakdown that moves past the children’s story version and brings you into the actual weight of Jesus’ words." from the video introduction
