When a religious scholar asks Jesus how to inherit eternal life, the answer doesn’t come in a formula. It comes in a story. In this sermon, Bishop Josiah Fearon challenges us to see ourselves not as the hero, but as the one in the ditch: helpless, broken, and in need of mercy. Drawing from the Parable of the Good Samaritan, Bishop Fearon reminds us that salvation isn't something we earn by religion or good behavior. It’s a rescue we receive from Jesus, the one who sees us, stoops down, and lifts us up. Have you let him lift you?
