The Good Samaritan

The Well Church Edmond

If our attendance in church on Sundays doesn't bring about love, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control throughout our week, then none of what we do matters. How do we make certain that the drive the meet the deadlines of our world doesn't overcome our drive to meet the needs of our world? In looking at Jesus' parable of The Good Samaritan, what seems to be of note in this story is not the exact nature of the help, but the attitude of the helper. What Jesus is teaching us is that it's not necessarily about how we respond in a specific scenario, rather it's about a way of being in the world.
