The Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) | Pastor Jacob Mock

Jesus is clear that no amount of good works will be enough to earn eternal life. Only a perfect person is able to inherit eternal life. The bad news for us is that we are not perfect. The good news is Christ lived a perfect life and he is willing to give us his perfection if we repent and put our trust in him. Jesus also teaches the lawyer the kind of love that he requires of his followers, which is sacrificial love. That is how every Christian ought to be loving the people around them, just like the good Samaritan.
