As Pastor Terry will explain in today’s message, the story of the Good Samaritan demonstrates the weakness of religion. It places the merits of people based on their performance and social status as a top priority. The Priest and the Levite that walked by the man on the side of the road looked really good from the outside. But their hearts failed to reflect the gracious compassion of their God. They saw the law as an opportunity to prove themselves, not as a light to reveal their need for salvation.
