The Good Samaritan (Lazarus)

The Parable of the Good Samaritan, often linked with the story of Lazarus, emphasizes compassion and neighborly love. It tells of a man beaten by thieves who is ignored by others but aid by a compassionate Samaritan, crossing social boundaries. Lazarus, another story, highlights faith and the hope of resurrection. Together, these narratives encourage showing kindness beyond social divisions, caring for others regardless of background, and trusting in divine justice and compassion. They underscore that true neighborliness involves active mercy and moral integrity, inspiring us to treat others with empathy and respect.
