There’s a parable in the New Testament of the Bible that’s always digs into my heart and soul. It’s in blaring red letters, directly from the mouth of Jesus Himself and utterly inescapable. It leaves me uncomfortable because it’s so relevant for today, leaves very little room for excuses, and challenges everything that society has told us and every barrier it’s put up. Simultaneously, we have countless hospitals, charities, schools, and organizations named after this story. So, it just seemingly won’t ever go away. Actually, we have a hospital right on our own island named after it. It’s the timeless parable of The Good Samaritan.

But Who Is My Neighbor?
