Teaching Quotes:

By depicting a Samaritan as the hero of the story, Therefore, Jesus demolished all boundary expectations. Social position, race, religion or region count for nothing. The alteration of the expected sequence by naming the third character as a Samaritan not only challenges the hearer to examine the stereotypes around Samaritans, but it also invalidates all such stereotypes. Community, and by this he means neighbor, can no longer be defined or limited by such terms. Jesus’ parable therefore shatters the stereotypes of social boundaries and class division and renders void any system of religious quid pro quo. Neighbors do not recognize social class. Eternal life (the life of the age to come) is the quality of life characterized by showing mercy to all regardless.
