The story of the good Samaritan in Luke 10 is one of Jesus's most well-known parables. It continues to fascinate readers for its powerful imagery and ethical significance.
In this exposition, New Testament scholar Emerson Powery shows how this classic and beloved text can speak afresh to the life of the church today.
