In this second part of our study on the Parable of the Good Samaritan—what I call the Parable of “Who Is My Neighbor?”—we slow down and walk carefully through the full passage of Luke Too often, we read this story quickly and miss the powerful dialogue unfolding between Jesus and the Expert in the Law. Together, we’ll explore: - The initial question that sets the stage: “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” - The follow-up challenge: “Who is my neighbor?” - The concluding exchange that reveals the Expert’s heart—and ours.This parable presses us to wrestle with one of the most fundamental issues of the human condition: Who am I required to show love to? - What about those we think don’t deserve it? - The people who frustrate, offend, or oppose us? - The neighbors who vote differently, live differently, or simply get under our skin?Jesus calls us to a higher vision of love—to see the humanity and divine image even in those we struggle to love most.Join me as we uncover how this parable invites us to live out the radical, restorative love of God in our world today.---------------------------------------------www.figtreeteaching.com Join the Fig Tree Coffee Club - Check Website for Times and Dates https://www.figtreeteaching.com/store/p3/Fig_Tree_Coffee_Club.htmlSupport Fig Tree Ministries: https://donorbox.org/support-figtree-ministries Support the Ministry when you shop at Amazon!
