b'Luke 10:25-37\\nThe Parable of the Good Samaritan is arguably the most widely known Bible lesson. Curiously, the World and the Church, who don\\u2019t agree on sin, ethics, or the primacy of Jesus somehow come to the same conclusion about this text and quote it while working to re-shape society through good deeds. But when was the point of a parable ever the topical story? And why would Luke interrupt his multi chapter lesson on the dangers of self-righteousness to encourage the very works that could induce it? In a verse by verse explication of the text we will uncover the often missed spiritual application of the parable.'
