A study in 2021 said that 71% of internet users in the US use Facebook regularly.  With those high numbers, it is safe to say that someone listening has been scrolling through Facebook and read a post about someone that needs help.

The Parable of the Good Samaritan is a wonderful story that Jesus tells to illustrate how we must love our neighbors as ourselves.  It is about a generous person who was ready to provide help to a stranger in distress without hesitation.  We should never ignore people when they are in need and assist them no matter who are what they are.  The Parable of the Good Samaritan puts the greatest commandment to love others into action.  In Matthew 22:36-40 we are told the greatest commandment is to Love God with all our heart and the second part of that is to Love your neighbor as yourself.  As we review this Parable from Christ, we must do it with this in mind.  We must completely understand what Christ is teaching us in the parable and to do that we have to make sure we look at it in the right context.
