Luke's Gospel: The Good Samaritan, Justification in Christ, and Divine Interruptions - Luke 10:25-37
Sunday, 20 September, 2026
What does it truly mean to love our neighbor? That question sits at the heart of one of the most familiar and yet most challenging passages in all of Scripture. In Luke 10, a legal expert approaches with a question about eternal life, and what unfolds is a masterclass in how we so often try to shrink the demands of love rather than rise to meet them. The parable of the Good Samaritan confronts us with an uncomfortable mirror: we are not naturally the ones who stop, bandage wounds, and commit to return. We are, if we are honest, the ones who cross to the other side of the road. The priest and the Levite are not villains. They are us, moving through life with schedules and fears and reasons that feel legitimate in the moment. What sets the Samaritan apart is not superior willpower but something deeper: a compassion that has feet, that actually moves a person toward the need rather than away from it. This sermon invites us to ask where we are applying our capacity to do hard things, and whether the people we pass each day are burdens to avoid or kingdom opportunities to embrace.
