Briefly summarize the context and story of the parable of the good Samaritan in Luke 10:2937. A man was assaulted by robbers and a priest and Levite passed by him while he was suffering and did not help. A good Samaritan came to his assistance, bandaged him up, and brought him to an inn to be cared for. Jesus told the expert in the law, possibly a Pharisee, to “Go and do likewise” (Luke 10:37). Christ told those around him to spread love to your neighbor, as it is the right and selfless thing to do. 11.

Lastly, Christ was the sacrifice that was needed to save humanity. He died for our sins. 14. Read 1 Corinthians 1:18-25. What is the Apostle Paul referring to when he says at the end, “the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men”?
