CARE: The Call of True Compassion

May 11, 2025    Pastor Ken Wombacher

This sermon on The Good Samaritan, reveals that Jesus’ parable was not primarily a moral lesson about kindness but a heart-exposing confrontation with our inability to perfectly love God and others. The “lawyer” sought to justify himself, but Jesus used the story to show that true righteousness cannot be earned—it must be received through grace. The Good Samaritan’s compassion ultimately points to Christ Himself, who rescued us when we were helpless and calls us to extend His mercy to others.
