But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion.
Luke10:33
Like the others, this Samaritan sees the wounded man by the roadside. Unlike them he has compassion.
Compassion is a sympathetic pity in this case. The Samaritan recognized that what had befallen this man could easily have befallen him.
Jesus introduces a Samaritan into the story because the Jews and Samaritans didn’t like each other. This strongly teaches that we are not treat others poorly on the basis of their birthplace or nationality.
Heavenly Father, thank You for being so kind to us! You have saved us and given us so much in Christ. We will thank You forever! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
