Good Samaritan

The Good Samaritan Story

This story from the Bible (Luke 10:25-37) is widely known for its noble message of helping others without regard for origin or circumstance. In this parable, Jesus defines who our neighbors are and illustrates love and mercy: A traveler on the road to Jericho is robbed, stripped, beaten, and left for dead. Both a priest and a Levite pass by, but on seeing him, cross to the other side and leave him. A Samaritan also sees the traveler and stops, tends to his wounds, and provides shelter for him at an inn.

By becoming a member of the Good Samaritan family of monthly donors, you ensure that the care for those often neglected and abandoned not only continues but becomes available to even more who have been left alone on the roadside “beaten up” by life’s challenges.
