📖 This Week's Story

Jesus told a story about a man traveling on a dangerous road. Robbers attacked him and left him hurt. A priest passed by but didn't help. Another important person walked by but kept going. Then a stranger from Samaria came along. In those days, Samaritans and this man's people didn't get along at all. But the Samaritan stopped! He cleaned the man's wounds, put him on his donkey, and paid for his care at an inn. Jesus asked: "Which of these three was a good neighbor?" The answer is clear — the one who helped! This teaches us that EVERYONE is our neighbor, especially those who need our help.
