The answer is: What is written in the Law?

Luke 10 v 26

In this exchange between Jesus and the lawyer, we notice that Jesus often loved to draw on the wisdom found in the Jewish Scriptures. When the lawyer wants to quiz Jesus about obtaining eternal life, Jesus flips the question back at him, basically saying, “You tell me what the law says.” This exchange highlights the deep-rooted connection between faith and action in the teachings of Jesus.

The reference to "the Law" does not just mean legalistic rules; it embodies a rich tapestry of guidance, history, and a communal way of life focused on love and justice. The lawyer responds with the famous commandment to love God and love one’s neighbor—a principle that resonates throughout the Hebrew Bible, even echoing back to the heart of the faith life summarized in Leviticus 19:18.

Isn't it fascinating to see how loving one's neighbor was central then, just as it resonates with us today? The encounter demonstrates that understanding the Scriptures isn’t enough—it’s about living them! Interestingly, the Good Samaritan himself is an example that challenges the social norms of Jesus' day. Samaritans were often despised as heretics; yet it’s a Samaritan, not a priest or Levite, who embodies true compassion.

Such parallels point to a broader universal principle of kindness beyond borders or identities, making this story timelessly relevant. Today, it's a reminder for us to extend kindness in unexpected places!
