The Parable of the Good Samaritan

 

The parables of Jesus


On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”

He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’ and, ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’”

“You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”


Some say this isn’t faith, that we are saved by faith. Doing this, loving our neighbour because of Jesus, is faith.
