The Good Samaritan

Luke 10:29-37

Questions to chew on:

• Why did the Good Samaritan do what he did?
• Why was he able to do this?
• What question was the lawyer really asking Jesus, and how is it different from the question he asked out loud?
• Jesus shows that the law calls for a kind of love we can’t perfectly give. How does that make you feel – discouraged, relieved, confused, or something else?
• What kinds of reasons do we sometimes have for wanting to limit who we’re responsible for loving?

Extra chewy ones:

• What is Jesus showing you about your heart right now, and will you talk to Him about it?
• Are you allowing God to work in you and transform you, or are you trying to make God fit a mould that feels comforatble to you?
