The Good Samaritan: If Not for the Grace of God, There Go I (Lk 10:25-37)

Like the priest and the Levite we can find laws and good reasons to treat one another bad badly and not show compassion and mercy. Jesus calls us to not miss the forest because of the trees. Our laws are meant to help us live together in a loving community. It's helpful to look at those we see as our enemies, or the ones deserving mistreatment, and realize that if not for the grace of God there too go I.
