Title: The Most Misunderstood Parable - John MacArthur
Post by: JB Horn on November 08, 2014, 10:51:19 pm

Parables are familiar to many people, but not always correctly understood. One such parable is the one to which I draw your attention this morning. Open your Bible to Luke 10, verse 30, and the very familiar parable of the Good Samaritan, the Good Samaritan. Very familiar to Christians and non-Christians alike. In fact, we all know what it means when you call someone a “Good Samaritan.” That’s a compliment. That generally means that someone shows kindness, mercy, compassion, care to some other person in need, and that’s good. That’s virtuous. God is honored by that. But that being said, the parable of the Good Samaritan is largely misunderstood.

Christ had a way of making a man look deep inside his own soul, and this is necessary for convection that leads to repentance. A skill handed to YOU by the Holy Ghost (He does the work - you quote the scripture).
