in the ditch toward the
Samaritan or vice versa.
That insight alone should
clue us in that there is
more going on here than
Jesus giving some sort of
commentary on the Law.
And in fact, the Law appli-
cation of the Good Samar-
itan story is secondary to
the traditional Gospel in-
terpretation, in which the
Good Samaritan actually
represents Jesus, who has
shown mercy to us poor,
miserable sinners.
The Good Samaritan
Gospel is that Jesus is the
one who came down into
the ditch to save you from
sure and certain eternal
death. For Jesus was al-
ways merciful toward His
neighbor, as His Father
is merciful, and He also
loved God with all His
heart, soul, and strength.
He kept the command-
ments perfectly, and He
went to the cross to res-
cue His enemies from
eternal death. Yes, the re-
ality is even greater than
the story, for Jesus is even
more merciful in real life
than the Good Samaritan
in the story is because He
comes to save His ene-
mies. St. Paul wrote, “God
shows his love for us in

the Son and of the Holy
Spirit.” And He comes not
merely with oil and wine
to bind your wounds, but
with the Medicine of Im-
mortality, His own true
body and precious blood,
under the bread and wine,
to deliver forgiveness of
sins, life, and salvation
into your very mouths.
Yes, the Good Samaritan
has taken care of every-
thing for you, so that you
may have eternal life in
heaven. Amen.

tale, designed to move us
to help out our neighbor
in need. Of course, it is
easy to see how someone
could reach that conclu-
sion, since after telling
the story, Jesus does give
this law: “Go and do like-
wise.” And since many
think of Jesus as nothing
more than a great moral
teacher, and not the Sav-
ior of the world, it is not
surprising that they con-
clude that Jesus would
give the parable of the
Good Samaritan as “Law,”
as in, “You get out there
now and show that kind
of mercy.”
Of course, that Law is
true enough; elsewhere
Jesus tells His disciples
to “be merciful as your
Father in heaven is mer-
ciful,” and that God the
Father is kind to the un-
grateful and the evil. That
is actually a higher moral
standard than the one
presented in the parable,
since there is no sign of
hostility from the man
“Duty to rescue” laws
are on the books in eight
states (not Texas, though).
These so-called “Good
Samaritan laws” require
everybody, not just doc-
tors and emergency work-
ers, to help an injured or
stranded stranger, in im-
itation of the Good Sa-
maritan who rescued the
man in the ditch (Luke
10:23-37). There is also
a different type of stat-
ute with the same title of
“Good Samaritan law”;
these laws are designed
to protect people who
do help out a stranger in
peril, by preventing law-
suits against the so-called
Good Samaritan. These
laws are much more
widespread, and they are
on the books to prevent
rescuers from being sued
if, during the process of
rescue, the person in peril
suffers incidental injuries.
These two different
types of Good Samari-
tan laws are intended to
encourage people to help
others who are in dire
need. And the fact that
they are called Good Sa-
maritan laws shows how
common the interpreta-
tion of Christ’s parable as
a Law-oriented morality
