Have you heard of the Good Samaritan? If you’ve grown up in Western society, it likely rings a bell. The Good Samaritan is one of the most well-known parables of Jesus.

Throughout Christianity, in every denomination, fellowship, and network; every follower of Jesus learns about The Good Samaritan early on in their faith journey. Even those from other faith backgrounds, or even from an atheist or agnostic position, have a loose idea of The Good Samaritan.

This parable brings about an internal conflict that was felt with the initial audience, and has continued throughout the millennia, right up into our modern era.
